Date of birth unknown; he became pope about 14 July, 939, and died about the end of Oct., 942.

He supported the declining Carlovingian dynasty, and by threat of excommunication forced the nobles to be faithful to the Frankish King Louis IV d’Outre-Mer. Throughout the whole of his pontificate he was subject to Alberic, Prince of the Romans, and so had little opportunity of distinguishing himself.<\/p>\n
