BENO (BENNONE). - Cardinal, d. around 1100. Created cardinal by Stephen IX in 1058, on 5 May 1081 he took part in the Roman synod against the antipope Clement III, but in 1084 he sided against Gregory VII, and justified his stance in two writings, in the first of which he strives to prove the election of Gregory VII false, and in the second he speaks of the excommunication against the emperor Henry IV. He drafted a manifesto of the schismatic cardinals and remained an obstinate adversary of Gregory VII until his death. He was in Rome in 1098 to take part in the council convened by the antipope Clement III.
