Pope Leo VI (880 – 12 February 929) was the 123rdbishop of Rome and nominal ruler of thePapal States for just over seven months, from June 928 to his death. His pontificate occurred during the period known as theSaeculum obscurum.

Family and early career

[edit]

Leo VI was born into aRoman family,[1] and his father was Christophorus, who had beenprimicerius underPope John VIII around the year 876. Tradition has it that he was a member of the Sanguini family.[2] Before his pontificate, Leo served as thecardinal-priest ofSanta Susanna.[3]

Pontificate

[edit]

Leo was elected pope around June 928, during aperiod of anarchy.[3] He was chosen by thesenatrixMarozia, who had gained control of Rome via the domination of her husbandGuy, Margrave of Tuscany, and who had ordered the imprisonment and death of Leo’s predecessor,John X.[4]

During his brief pontificate, Leo confirmed the decisions of theSynod of Spalato.[3] He completed his predecessor’s investigations into the ecclesiastical situation inDalmatia, and proceeded to give thepallium to Archbishop John ofSalona, and ordered all the bishops of Dalmatia to obey him. He also ordered the bishop of Nona and others to limit themselves to the extent of theirdioceses.[5] Leo then bannedcastrati from marrying.[6] He also issued an appeal for help against the Arab raiders who were threatening Rome, stating that:

”Whoever died faithful in this struggle will not see himself refused entry into the heavenly kingdom.”[7]

The chroniclerFlodoard said of him:

”Through the virtue of Peter, Leo the sixth was taken and received, he was preserved for seven months and five days, and like his predecessors, he joined the company of the prophets.”[3]

Leo died in February 929, and was succeeded byStephen VII. He was buried atSt. Peter’s Basilica.[3]
