JOHN XVIII, Pope. - A Roman, elected in Jan. 1004, d. in July 1009. Named Fasano, cardinal "Sancti Petri", after his elevation to the pontificate he attended only to the affairs of the Church, leaving the temporal government to the patrician Crescentius. He created the bishopric of Bamberg in Germany, subjecting it immediately to the Holy See, in order to favor, according to the wish of Emperor Henry II, the evangelization of the Slavs. He ordered the archbishop of Sens and the bishop of Orléans to appear in Rome to clear themselves of having thrown certain papal bulls into the fire, and he invited Robert, king of France, under penalty of excommunication, to compel them to do so (1008?). He died in the abbey of St. Paul, where it seems he had retired.
