## Bio

Eleutherius became bishop of Rome around 174 and held the office until his death on 24 May 189, though some sources place his pontificate between 171-185 or 177-193. His tenure sits in the early centuries of the Church, when records were sparse and myth easily filled the gaps. The most persistent story links him to a letter from "Lucius, King of Britain," a figure whose historical existence remains uncertain. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. No other pope has taken his name since.
