Hadrian I (d. 795), Pope from 772. By persuading Charlemagne to conquer Lombardy (774) and depose its king, Hadrian freed the Papacy from a long-standing menace. He also enlisted Charlemagne's help in suppressing Adoptianism and supported his efforts to achieve unity in liturgy and canon law. See also GREGORIAN SACRAMENTARY.
