Pope
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.
