Everything about In Nomine Domini totally explained
In Nomine Domini, named for its
Latin incipit ("
In the Name of the Lord"), is a
papal bull of
Pope Nicholas II and
canon of the
Council of Rome, promulgated on
April 13,
1059, establishing
cardinal-bishops as the sole electors of the pope, with the consent (as determined by the cardinal-bishops) of
cardinal-deacons and
cardinal-priests (followed by the
laity and the
Holy Roman Emperor
The bull further states that any
antipope elected contrary to the procedure laid out within it should be "subjected, as
Antichrist and invader and destroyer of all Christianity, to a perpetual
anathema."
The bull replaced the recently-challenged right of nomination of the
Holy Roman Emperor with a vague right of
approbation, following the advice of recently-elevated Cardinal Hildebrand
The bull was followed by an alliance between the papacy and
Robert Guiscard, who was made
Duke of Apulia and Calabria (which he'd already conquered) and
Sicily (which he'd have to recover from the
Saracens) in exchange for an annual tribute and guaranteeing the security of the
Holy See (which began with the demolition of the castles of several Roman nobles).
