# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Boniface II became Bishop of Rome on 22 September 530, breaking centuries of Mediterranean monopoly on the papacy. His election marked a quiet revolution: a Germanic leader at the apex of Latin Christendom, governing from the Holy See while the ghost of the Western Empire still lingered in memory. He ruled for just over two years, his tenure ending with his death on 17 October 532, brought down by illness or the weight of age. What he left was precedent — proof that the chair could belong to someone whose ancestors had once stood outside the walls.
