# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Silverius went from deacon to bishop of Rome on 8 June 536, his promotion engineered by Ostrogothic king Theodahad, nephew to Theodoric the Great, who wanted a pope sympathetic to Gothic interests as war loomed. The timing was no accident: the Gothic War was about to engulf Italy. Within months Byzantine general Belisarius deposed him, put him on trial, and exiled him to Palmarola, a desolate rock in the sea. He died there on 2 December 537, starved, less than eighteen months after his consecration.
