Biography

Notables Project
Pope Gregory VI Graziano is Notable.

He was the godfather of Pope Benedict IX.[1]

Platina[2] states:

Gregory the Sixth, Archdeacon of St John at Port Latin, received... the chair of Benedict. But the Emperor Henry III, hearing of these miscarriages, with a great army enters Italy, and calling a council, causes Benedict IX, Sylvester III, and Gregory VI all to be deposed for so many wretched monsters, and creates Syndergerus, Bishop of Bamberg, Pope, by the name of Clement II. Yet Gilbertus, the historian, affirms this Gregory to have deserved very well of the Church, having by his authority and great spirit in a short time reasserted the dignity of the see apostolic, which had been much weakened in its powers by the negligence of some of his predecessors.

His papacy lasted two years and seven months during the schism.[2]
