 Very interesting is, what Estor says in "Freiheit der teutschen Kirchen" about Pope Gregory VII.Contrary to the legend, that this powerful pope stemmed from the noble family Aldobrandeschi, Estor claims, that he was the son of a blacksmith in Saona in the Italian county of Toscana and that his full name was Hildebrand Bonizi.Apparently he was completely different from his father, a small and tiny person.
