# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 865, Anastasius was Roman, possibly the son of nobleman Lucian or perhaps the illegitimate child of his predecessor, Sergius III. He became bishop of Rome in April 911, his candidacy approved by Theophylact I of Tusculum and Theodora, the power behind the papal throne. His reign saw the evangelization of Rollo's Normans and renewed Saracen threats after they fortified the Garigliano river. He died in June 913 and was buried in St. Peter's Basilica, leaving behind a pontificate defined more by the forces that controlled it than by anything he managed to do.
