Antipope John VIII

Antipope John VIII

Pope John VIII or Pope John was an antipope of the Roman Catholic church, during the year of 844. On the death of Gregory IV the archdeacon John was proclaimed pope by popular acclamation, while the nobility elected Sergius, a Roman of noble birth. The opposition was suppressed, with Sergius intervening to save John's life. Sergius was then consecrated immediately, without seeking the ratification of the Frankish court.
