GermanyA German bishop who held the papacy for just two years in the mid-1050s, part of the wave of reformist popes installed by the Holy Roman Empire to clean up a church drowning in simony and corruption.
About
Born Gebhard von Dollnstein-Hirschberg around 1018, he was elevated to the papacy on 13 April 1055 — one in a string of German appointees brought in to drive what would become known as the Gregorian Reform. He ruled both the Catholic Church and the Papal States through a brief, intense tenure aimed at purging the ecclesiastical rot of the era. On 28 July 1057, two years and three months after his election, he died, leaving the reform project to the popes who followed.
