STEPHEN VIII, POPE
(929-31)(Also known as Stephen VII.) Pope Stephen VIII's date of birth is unknown; he died March [15], 931.
He became pope either at the end of 928 or at the beginning of 929. Except that he was a Roman, the son of Teudemund, and some time cardinal-priest of St Anastasia, and that when pope he issued certain privileges for monasteries in France and Italy, and was buried in St. Peter's, nothing more is known of him.
