John XI, Pope of Rome


X Century
Allegedly the son of Marozia and Sergius III, John was born c. 910 in Rome and was made pope in 931. After the marriage of Marozia to her brother-in-law, Hugh of Florence, John's half-brother, Alberic III, imprisoned their mother in the Castel Sant' Angelo and confined John to the Lateran until John's death in 935.
