About this person

Benedict V became pope on 22 May 964 during the Saeculum obscurum, a stretch of Roman church history marked by political chaos and contested succession. He stood in opposition to Leo VIII, meaning two men claimed the throne at once. The contest ended when Emperor Otto I marched into Rome and overthrew him on 23 June. Deposed after just over a month, Benedict V died in exile the following year on 4 July 965.
