Italian original Cite

Also known as: Latin: Leo VI Papa

LEO VI, Pope. - He reigned from May to Dec. 928. Son of the primicerius Christopher, he succeeded John X, who had died in prison at Castel Sant'Angelo, and his election was arranged by Marozia; almost nothing is known about him; a single letter (listed by Jaffé-Wattenbach, 3579) is addressed to the bishops of Dalmatia to urge them to respect the rights of the bishop of Split, a practice already begun by John X.
