Sergius the Fourth, a Roman, son of Martin, succeeded; a man of a most holy life and sweet conversation both before and in his pontificate. He was charitable to the poor, cheerful among his friends and acquaintances, merciful to those who were faulty, and mild even with the perverse. ...
[In] Italy and almost all the world, too, labouring under a famine and pestilence, the holy man Sergius died in the second year and fifteenth day of his popedom, and was buried in St Peter's Church. The see was then vacant eight days.
He died on 12 May 1012 and was buried in the Basilica of St John Lateran.[1]
