medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Wendy and others,
Thanks! No indication, though, of why Pascal I was considered a saint?
The Icelandic annals have him translating the relics of St. Cecilia, "ipse revelante"
in 820 to the church of Pope Urban. Also Valerian, Tiburtius, and Maximian.
Do those with more ready access to medieval annals (perhaps especially English
or German ones) know of any parallels to this (or to literature pertaining to it?)
Thanks also to all those who tried to solve my "email address" problem.
None of your suggestions worked, but in the process of trying every single
possible place I could click with a mouse, I eventually found something
that did. Which would not have happened but for your suggestions . . .
Meg

Hi,
Here are the Pope Paschal entries in my book "The Deaths of the Popes: Comprehensive Accounts Including Funerals, Burial Places, and Epitaphs" (McFarland & Co Publishers Oct. 2004)
---
Antipope Paschal (687; d. 692) Although he submitted to Pope Sergius, he was deposed from the archidiaconate for continuing to plot against the pope. He was imprisoned in an unknown monastery on charges of being a magician and died 5 years later, still unrepentant. He was buried in an unknown location.
St. Paschal I (January 24, 817-February 11, 824) Because of his harsh reign, Paschal had many enemies and was so unpopular in Rome that when he died the Romans would not allow his body to be buried in St. Peter's. Consequently, his body was left unburied until his successor, Pope Eugenius II (824-827), had him allegedly buried in the chapel of St. Zeno, (beneath the oratory in the south transept) of Santa Prassade , where Paschal's mother had been buried. However, research undertaken in the seventeenth century on the presbytery of Santa Prassade confirms that Paschal's remains were never buried in that church. The Liber Pontificalis (Book of Pontiffs), however, reports that Paschal was in fact buried in St. Peter's, in the altar of the oratory of Ss. Processus and Martiniano (that he had constructed). But when the oratory was moved in 1548, and again in 1605, no trace of his tomb was found. His name was included in the catalogue of saints in the late sixteenth century. Feast Day: May 14, but suppressed in 1963.
Further Reading: P. Brezzi, Roma e l'Impero medioevale, Bologna, 1947; B. Davanzati, Notizie al pellegrino della basilica di S. Prassede, Rome, 1725.
Paschal II (August 13, 1099-January 21, 1118) Rainerius. Died of harsh treatment in Castel Sant' Angelo by orders of Emporer Henry V, although Joachim Prinz, in Popes from the Ghetto, claims that Paschal was killed during a street riot. During a religious ceremony early in Paschal's pontificate someone gave Bishop Alberto of Alatri a card with the words quarter quatemi ternique, which means 'nineteen' (four times four plus three). He quickly showed Paschal the card and said, "That which you see, I see by the grace of God; and you too will see it, so long as you live,"-and Paschal indeed reigned for 19 years. Before he was buried (on the right aisle of St. John Lateran), his corpse was covered with balsam and dressed in sacred vestments according to the funeral ordo. The very elegantly sculpted marble tomb was probably destroyed in the fire of either 1308 or 1361; the charred remains collected and buried in a polyandrum near the lesser door of the basilica (the entrance near the tomb of Innocent III, on the right side of the nave).
Antipope Paschal III (April 22, 1164-September 20, 1168) Guido of Cremona. Died in a Castel Sant' Angelo after having barricaded himself inside because he didn't trust the feelings of the Roman mob. No information about his burial is known.

Hope these helped...
