ANNO or HANNO, SAINT (c. I010-1o75), archbishop of Cologne, belonged to a Suabian family, and was educated at Bamberg. He became confessor to the Emperor Henry III., who appointed him archbishop of Cologne in 1056. Anno was the leader of the party that abducted the young King Henry IV. from his mother Agnes. He then seized the regency, but was compelled to share it with Adalbert, the powerful archbishop of Bremen. In 1064 he left the court, but recovered some of his former influence on Henry when Adalbert fell in 1066. His most important service was his action at the Council of Mantua (May 1064) when he secured the recognition of Alexander II. as pope, against his rival Honorius, who was originally a nominee of the German Court. He was killed at Cologne on Dec. 4 1075, and canonized in 1183.
