Pope Romanus
? · Gallese
Romanus, said to be a native of Gallese, reigned for only three or four months in 897 during the upheaval that followed the Cadaver Synod and the fall of Stephen VI. Almost nothing certain is known of his policies, though he appears to have leaned toward rehabilitating Formosus's memory. He left the papacy by deposition or death—possibly being compelled to become a monk—within months. His obscurity reflects both the brevity of his tenure and the fragmentary records of this deeply unstable phase of Roman ecclesiastical history.
