Biography

Notables Project
Pope John XVIII Fasano is Notable.

He was a member of the Fasano family in Rome, the son of a priest.[1]

He became pope on Christmas Day 1003 and abdicated in July 1009 retiring to a monastery where he died not long after.[2] [1][3]

Platina[4] states:

John the Eighteenth, a Roman, of the ward of Port-Metropolitan, being made Pope, indulged himself in an easy way of living, and did nothing worth mentioning.
But John, (according to some authors) having sat in the chair six years and four months, died, and was buried in St Peter's Church. The see was then vacant nineteen days.
