December 4 – Adrian IV was elected pope and more

In our wildest aberrations, we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. A childish presumption that justifies the fact that child-nations inherit our follies is now directing our history.

Let us read more about the events that happened on December 4 in history.

1154 – Adrian IV was elected pope and occupies the papal throne

On December 4, 1154, the officials elected Nicholas Breakspear as Pope Adrian IV, the only Englishman to have served on the papal throne.

Nicholas Breakspear was born around 1100 in Bedmond, in the parish of Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire. Robert was an educated man but poor, deciding to enter the monastery, probably after his wife’s death. This left Nicholas in a perilous position; having to fend for himself and lack education, people rejected him subsequently from joining the monastery. However, his destiny would take him elsewhere, traveling to France, where he could successfully pursue his vocation.

1791 – Britain’s Observer, first published

On December 4, 1791, “The Observer” became the first newspaper to publish regularly on a Sunday. It struggled to make money and accepted government subsidies to take a generally pro-government line. Yet, in 1820 it defied a court order preventing reporting on the Cato Street Conspirators, alleged to have plotted to assassinate the Prime Minister and his cabinet.

While this did not prevent the conspirators’ hanging and conviction, it set an important precedent in the press’s freedom. In the 19th century, “The Observer” grew into a major newspaper, especially after the newspaper tax was scrapped in 1855.
