Adrian IV was an English Pope in the 12th century. Click http://chi.gospelcom.net/DAILYF/2001/12/daily-12-04-2001.shtml  for further information. ('British' really started to be an applicable adjective only after 1603 and the Union of the Crowns of Scotland and England.)

Of the 264 popes (262 to be exact because Pope Benedict IX, during the dreadful medieval fights between popes and anti-popes, was elected three times) 205 were Italians, (of whom 106 were Romans), and 57 foreigners; comprised of 19 Frenchmen, 14 Greeks, 8 Syrians, 5 Germans, 3 Africans, 2 Spaniards, 1 Austrian, 1 Palestinian, 1 Englishman, 1 Dutchman, and 1 Pole.
