About this person
Conon was elected bishop of Rome on 21 October 686 after the city's two power centres - soldiers and clergy - deadlocked over a successor and settled on him as neutral ground. His papacy lasted less than a year. During that brief tenure he consecrated the Irish missionary St Kilian and sent him to preach in Franconia. Conon died on 21 September 687, eleven months after taking office.
