The name of the pope was Adrian IV. His Regnal name was Papa Hadrianus Quartus. His given name was Nicholas Breakspear and he was Pope from 4 December 1154 - 1 September 1159. Information reveals that he granted Ireland to Henry II, the then King of England. He did a lot better than his predecessor Anastasius IV (Given name: Corrado, from Rome) who only held the post for 18months.

I will only add to the correct answers to this question that the Breakspear brewery which still exists was founded by his family. You might feel a nice connexion to English history by trying a pint.
