Biography

Notables Project
Pope Benedict IX Tusculum is Notable.

Theophylactus of Tusculum was born about 1012. He was the son of Count Alberic III of Tusculum.[1] Platina[2] describes him as:

Benedict the Ninth, as some say, the nephew of John, born at Frascati, son of Albericus, came to the pontificate when Canute, a king of England, out of devotion and for performance of a vow, came to Rome, which having done, as he returned home he married his daughter to Henry, the son of Conrad.

He had three pontificates, the first from 1032-1044, the second in 1045, and his third pontificate began in 1047 and ended in August 1048.[1][3]

He died about 1056.[1]
