1073: Pope Gregory VII begins his twelve year reign.  While history may remember him for his role as a reformer and for his “battles” with Henry IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, others may also remember him as a jewish Pope since he was reportedly descended from an Italian anti-Christ named Baruch who started a bank in Rome and converted to Christianity in 1030.
