ItalyA third-century bishop of Rome whose nine-month papacy was spent mostly in exile, then misremembered for centuries as a martyr in a persecution that hadn't started yet.
About
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.
