# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Benedict III became bishop of Rome on 29 September 855, stepping into the papal office during a time of political turbulence in the Papal States. His election followed the death of his predecessor and came amid the factional struggles that defined Roman ecclesiastical politics in the mid-800s. He ruled the Papal States and led the Church for just under three years. Benedict III died on 17 April 858, leaving behind a pontificate notable more for its steadiness than for dramatic acts — a tenure measured in survival rather than transformation.
