Arnold of Brescia
1100 – 1155
Italian

Roman Catholic priest, critic of church wealth, worldliness, and theocratic rule from Rome. He was ejected from Italy, lived in France and Zurich, then returned to Rome in 1143 to participate in a rebellion against the Pope, which aimed to recreate the ancient Roman republic. When this effort failed, he fled, but was captured and executed.
