John IX (Latin: Ioannes Nonus) was Pope from 898 to 900.
Early life[change]
Although his exact birth day is unknown, he was a native of Tivoli, which is near Rome.
Monk[change]
He was a Benedictine monk.
Pope[change]
He was made Pope because of the support of Emperor Lambert of Spoleto.[1] Lambert was of the Formosian party. Pope Sergius III who had been elected by the Anti-Formosians was chased from office with arms. John IX died unexpectedly in the year 900, which again led to feuds between different groups.
