Stephen V

(IV), a Roman, created cardinal deacon by pope, Leo III, who was raised to the papal throne in A.D. 816, but reigned only a few months. He caused the discontented Roman population to swear allegiance to Louis the Pious as well as to himself, in order to bring them more completely into his power; and he crowned that monarch emperor. He died in 817.
