November 897 CE
Romanus, like many popes of the era, annuls all the acts and decrees of his predecessor.
His short rule is regarded as a virtuous one by contemporary historian Flodoard, but fifteenth-century historian Bartolomeo Platina scorns him for continuing the practice of annulment.
An opposing faction deposes him in November of the same year and he will end his days as a monk.
His date of death is unknown.
