Pope Benedict V - Definition and Overview |
|
|
Benedict V (died July 4, 965), Pope (22 May 964 - 23 June 964), was elected by the Romans on the death of John XII. However the Roman emperor Otto I did not approve of the choice, had him deposed after only a month, and the ex-pope was carried off to Hamburg where he became a deacon, dying in July 965.
At the synod which deposed him the pastoral staff was broken over him by Leo VIII; this is the first mention of the papal sceptre.
