Pope Adrian V
1205 CE–1276 CE · Genoa
Born Ottobuono de' Fieschi of the powerful Genoese family that had given the Church Innocent IV (his uncle), Adrian V was an experienced diplomat. As cardinal he served as papal legate to England, where he helped reconcile Henry III with the barons after the Second Barons' War and promulgated reforming statutes. Elected pope in July 1276, he reigned only about five weeks and was never ordained priest or consecrated bishop. He suspended Gregory X's strict conclave rules but died at Viterbo before reforming them. Dante placed him among the penitent in Purgatory, purging avarice.
