Pope Gregory V
972 CE–999 CE · Carinthia (Stainach)
Born Bruno of Carinthia, a great-grandson of Otto I and cousin of Emperor Otto III, Gregory V was the first German pope. Otto installed him in 996 at about twenty-four, then was crowned emperor by him. When the Roman noble Crescentius II drove Gregory out and raised the antipope John XVI, Otto returned, brutally suppressed the revolt, and restored Gregory. His short reign embodied the imperial reform impulse—asserting papal authority over local churches and synods—while remaining wholly dependent on German military power. He died suddenly in 999, possibly of malaria, possibly poisoned.
