[4] In a later century the Bishopric of Anagni obtained some attention because its occupant received special consideration from the popes.

[5] Stephen, a native of Rome and son of a Roman priest named Joannes, became Bishop of Anagni, and was consecrated by Pope Formosus (891–896).

[6] Pope Stephen ruled for one year, three months, and eighteen days, and was then deposed, imprisoned, and strangled.

[7] Four natives of Anagni, all members of the same family, became popes: Innocent III (1198-1216);[8] Gregory IX (1227–1241);[9] Alexander IV (1254–1261);[10] and Boniface VIII (1294-1303).

[13] Pope Boniface VIII was violently attacked at Anagni by Guillaume de Nogaret, the chancellor of Philippe le Bel, and Sciarra Colonna.

Bishop Giovanni Battista Bassi (1708–1736) presided over a diocesan synod, held in Anagni on 25–27 June 1713.

[26] On 1–3 September 1805, Bishop Gioacchino Tosi (1804–1815) presided at a diocesan synod in the Basilica Cathedral of S. Maria in Anagni.
