THEODERIC (TEODERICO), Antipope. - Cardinal bishop of S. Rufina, elected on the death of the antipope Clement III (Sept. 8, 1100) by the imperial faction and consecrated by night in St. Peter's.

From a fragmentary passage of the Annales Beuenses (ed. G. H. Pertz, in MGH, Scriptores, II [1839], p. 250) it appears that he held a council on Sept. 30. In any case he was captured after 105 days of pontificate, while he was on his way from the Emperor; taken to Rome, Paschal II relegated him to the monastery of Cava dei Tirreni (late 1100-early 1101), where he took the monastic habit. He died in 1102 and his epitaph (whose authenticity is doubted by some) is still preserved in the abbey cemetery (α Theodo/ri/cus/in/M pace CII: cf. Codex diplomaticus Covenis, I, Naples 1873, p. LXVIII).
