Biography
Pope Gregory V (Kärnten) of Carinthia is Notable.
Bruno von Kärnten was born in 972, the second son of Otto von Wormsgau (later Duke of Kärnten) and Judith von Kärnten. This meant he was the great-grandson of Emperor Otto the Great.[1][2]
He was elected Pope on 3 May 996 taking the name Gregory V.[3]
Platina[4] states:
- Gregory the Fifth, a Saxon, son of Otho, before called Bruno, by the authority of Otho III for kindred sake was made Pope. ...
- Gregory died after he had been Pope two years and five months. The see was vacant fifteen days.
He died of malaria on 18 February 999 in Rome aged 27. He is buried in St Peter's Basilica, Rome.[1][2]
