Page "Pope Leo V" Paragraph 2

During his brief pontificate, Leo granted the canons of Bologna a special papal bull ( epistola tuitionis ) where he exempted them from the payment of taxes.

However, after a reign of a little over two months, Leo was captured by Christopher, the Cardinal-priest of San Lorenzo in Damaso, and thrown into prison.

Christopher then had himself elected pope ( 903 – 904 ), and although now considered an antipope, he had until recently been considered a legitimate pope.
