Pope Formosus - Pope Formosus Pope Formosus was born around 816, probably in Rome. He became Cardinal-Bishop of Porto in 864. He undertook diplomatic missions to Bulgaria (866) and France (869 and 872), he persuaded Charles the Bald, King of France, to be crowned by the pope. As early as 872 he had been a candidate for the papal see. But due to political complications he left Rome and the court of Pope John VIII in that year. John convened a synod, and Formosus was ordered to return or be excommunicated on charges that he had aspired to the Archbishopric of Bulgaria and the Chair of Peter, had opposed the emperor and had deserted his diocese without papal permission, had despoiled the cloisters in Rome, had performed the divine.
Pope Marinus I - Pope Marinus I Pope Marinus I (or Martin II), pope 882-884, succeeded John VIII in the pontificate about the end of December 882. On three separate occasions he had been employed by the three popes who preceded him as legate to Constantinople, his mission in each case having reference to the controversy excited by Photius, patriarch of Constantinople. Among his first acts as pope were the restitution of Formosus, cardinal bishop of Porto, and the anathematizing of Photius.

Pope Stephen VII - Pope Stephen VII Stephen VII, was Pope from May 896 to July or August 897. He had been made bishop of Anagni by Pope Formosus. The circumstances of his election are unclear, but he was sponsored by one of the powerful Roman families, the house of Spoleto, that contested the papcy at the time. Stephen is largely remembered in connection with his conduct towards the remains of Pope Formosus, his last predecessor but one. Doubtless under pressure from the Spoleto contingent, the rotting corpse of Formosus was exhumed and put on trial, in the so-called Cadaver Synod (synod horrenda), in January 897. With the corpse propped up in a throne, a deacon was appointed to answer for the deceased pontiff, who was condemned for performing the.

He had the body of Formosus, which had been thrown in the Tiber and recovered near Porto, reburied in St. Peter's. Preceded by: Pope Romanus List of popes Succeeded by: Pope John IX.
Pope John IX - Pope John IX John IX, pope from 898 to 900, not only confirmed the judgment of his predecessor Theodore II in granting Christian burial to Formosus, but at a council held at Ravenna decreed that the records of the synod which had condemned him should be burned. Finding, however, that it was advisable to cement the ties between the empire and the papacy, John gave unhesitating support to Lambert in preference to Arnulf, and also induced the council to determine that henceforth the consecration of the popes should take place only in the presence of the imperial legates. The sudden death of Lambert shattered the hopes which this alliance seemed to promise. John was succeeded by Benedict IV. Preceded by: Lando List of popes Succeeded by:.

Arnulf of Carinthia - (Latin Luvanium, local Lovon). The Annales Fuldensis (Annals of Fulda) report that the bodies of dead Northmen blocked the run of the river. In 894/895 Great Moravia probably lost a part of its territory - present-day Western Hungary- to him. Arnulf failed to conquer Great Moravia in 892, 893, 894/895 and 899. In 895 Bohemia broke away from Great Moravia and became his vassal. An accord was made between him and the Bohemian Duke Borivoj (reigned 870-895), Bohemia was freed from the danger of invasion. Arnulf invaded Italy in 896 and was crowned Emperor by the Pope Formosus (pope 891-896). On his death in 899, he was succeeded as a king of the East Franks by his son, Louis the Child (900-911). Arnulf has a bastard son Zwentibold, who reigned as.
Saint Methodius - been much discussed which liturgy, that of Rome or that of Constantinople, they took as a source. Since, however, the opposition objected only to the liturgical use of the Slavonic language, not to any alleged departure from the Roman type of liturgy, it is probable that the Western source was used. This view is confirmed by the "Prague Fragments" and by certain Old Glagolitic liturgical fragments brought from Jerusalem to Kief and there discovered by Saresnewsky-- probably the oldest document for the Slavonic tongue; these adhere closely to the Latin type, as is shown by the words "mass," "preface," and the name of one Felicitas. In any case, the circumstances were such that the brothers could hope for no permanent success without obtaining the authorization of Rome. 3. Appeal to Rome..
Saint Cyril - credited with inventing the Glagolitic alphabet a precursor to the Cyrillic alphabet. The two convinced the Pope that the Slavs needed a Bible in their own language. He and his brother taught the alphabet as missionaries in Great Moravia. His work was later transmitted by his pupils, who were expelled from Great Moravia in 885 and went to Bulgaria and other countries. Cyril was canonized as a saint by the Orthodox Church and is also called "apostle of the Slavs." See also: Saint Cyril of Alexandria Saint Cyril of Jerusalem Text to integrate from Schaff-Herzog Encyc of Religion: Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 1.

Simeon I of Bulgaria - the Bulgarian tradesmen would have to pay higher taxes. The war that followed (the first war in Europe fought solely over economic differences) ended after the Bulgarians crushed the Byzantines in 896 near Bulgarophygon in Eastern Thrace. The market was returned to Constantinpole and the Byzantine Emperor had to pay annual tribute to Bulgaria. After a series of battles the border of the Bulgarian state was within twenty kilometers of Thessaloniki. Simeon was trying to replace Byzantium and build a Bulgaro-Byzantine empire. By 913 he was at the gates of Constantinople. Having become the most powerful monarch in eastern Europe, Simeon assumed the style of "Emperor and Autocrat of all the Bulgars and Greeks", a title which Pope Formosus was quick to recognize. In the imperial palace he received the patriarch's.
