# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 611, Leo rose through a church caught between Constantinople and its own past. On 17 August 682 he became Bishop of Rome. A contemporary described him as just and learned, rare praise in an age when most papal lives went unrecorded in detail. He died ten months later, on 28 June 683. The Roman Martyrology lists him as a saint, a footnote bishop from the Byzantine Papacy whose reputation rests on character more than consequence.
