The aim of this paper is to investigate the image of Archbishop of Braga
and Antipope Gregory VIII (1118-1121), Maurice “Bourdin”. Often modern
historiography has considered Maurice as only a minor figure of the Church History
of the beginning of the 12th century, but a reading of the 12th and 13th century literary
sources offers a very different image of him. The use of these kinds of sources and
the adoption of a strong international perspective would show how it is possible
to rethink Maurice “Bourdin”’s life and career and to revise many features of the
Roman Church History and its relations with Hispania in the central centuries of the
Middle Ages.
