Pope Bl. Gregory X
1210 CE–1276 CE · Piacenza
Born Tedaldo Visconti at Piacenza, Gregory X was elected after the longest conclave in history (nearly three years), while serving as archdeacon of Liège and on crusade in Acre. A reforming idealist, he made the recovery of the Holy Land and Church reform his priorities. His Second Council of Lyon (1274) achieved a short-lived reunion with the Greek Church and decreed the conclave rules confining cardinals in seclusion to speed future elections. Devoted to peace among Christian princes, he was beatified in 1713. He died at Arezzo while returning from Lyon.
