Pope Gregory IX (Segni) di Segni is Notable.
Ugolino di Segni was born in the hills east-southeast of Rome at Anagni in the province of Frosinone, Roman Empire.[1] His birth date is unknown, possibly around 1145 or before 1170.[2] He is also known as Ugolino di Conti.[2]
He was consecrated bishop around 1206 and created cardinal in December 1198.[2]
St Francis of Assisi requested that he be appointed as Cardinal Protector of the order of the Franciscans in 1220.[2]
He was elected pope on 19 March 1227 and crowned on 21st March 1227 taking the name Gregory IX.[1]
He established the Papal Inquisition in 1233 to regularize the persecution of heresy.[2] As a learned and skillful lawyer he brought about a number of reforms on Papal legal theory.[2]

As I'm working backwards creating profiles for the Popes for the Pope's project I've come across another where the name is not quite right. Pope Gregory IX's original name according to Vatican records was Ugolino di Segni. You have created the profile as Ugo dei Conti di Segni. The correct translation of "dei Conti di Segni" is the Count of Segni. His father was probably the Count of Segni so I can see where the confusion has occurred. Therefore "dei Conti" is a title not part of the surname.
I believe his LNAB should be "Segni" and current last name should be "di Segni" in line with the EuroAristo naming standards.
