## Bio

Pelagius II became bishop of Rome on 26 November 579, inheriting a city under siege and a church in crisis. For over ten years he navigated a papacy defined by isolation—the Lombard invasion had cut Rome off from Constantinople, and imperial help never came. He died on 7 February 590, another victim of the epidemic sweeping through the city he'd tried to hold together.
