# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Lucius became bishop of Rome on 25 June 253 and was banished almost immediately after his consecration. He later gained permission to return to the city. His papacy ended with his death on 5 March 254, less than nine months after it began. The persecution under Emperor Valerian—which would not commence until after Lucius was already dead—somehow earned him a mistaken classification as a martyr, a label that stuck long after the chronology stopped adding up.
