Biography

Pope Lando Sabina is Notable.

Lando was born in Sabina, the son of Count Taino from Fornovo.^[1]

He was pope between July or November 913 and March 914 when he died.^[2]

Platina^[3] states:

Landus, a Roman, succeeded Anastasius; but his life was so obscure, that some do not reckon him for a Pope, especially Vincentius the historian. But Martin and Cusentinus are of another mind, together with Gothifredus, who writes, that this Landus, by interposing his authority, hindered a battle between Berengarius and Rodulphus, son of Count Guido; though others say that Rodulphus overcame Berengarius near Verona, and enjoyed the empire three years.

Landus died in the sixth month, and twenty-first day of his pontificate, and was buried in St Peter's Church.
