Pope John X

Pope John X (Latin: Ioannes X; died c. June 928) was the head of the Catholic Church from March 914 to his death in 928.

A candidate of the Counts of Tusculum, he attempts to unify Italy under the leadership of Berengar of Friuli, and is instrumental in the defeat of the Saracens at the Battle of Garigliano.

He eventually falls out with Marozia, who has him deposed, imprisoned, and finally murdered.

John’s pontificate occurs during the period known as the Saeculum obscurum.
