## Bio

Born into the powerful Counts of Tusculum, Roman of Tusculum took the papal throne in 1024 after his brother Benedict VIII died — skipping through all minor and major orders in rapid succession to claim it. For eight years he ruled the Papal States as both spiritual head and temporal lord, his reign marked by the family's continued dominance over Rome. Relations with the Patriarchate of Constantinople deteriorated sharply under his watch, the eastern church slipping further from his authority. He backed Emperor Conrad II and gave patronage to Guido of Arezzo, the music theorist who revolutionized how notation was taught. He died in October 1032, another Tusculan pope in a dynasty that treated the office as inheritance.
