Pope John XIV

John XIV, Pope from 983 to 984, successor to Benedict VII was born at Pavia, and before his elevation to the papal chair was imperial chancellor of Otto II.

Otto died shortly after his election, when Boniface VII, on the strength of the popular feeling against the new pope, returned from Constantinople and placed John in prison, where he died either by starvation or poison.
