What was Pope Leo V famous for?
A:Leo V was pope for only a very short period before he was assassinated by a successor as pope. The conflicting stories of his murder have given Pope Leo V more fame than he otherwise would have had.Leo was either murdered a few weeks after his election, by his successor, Pope Christopher, or the following year by Pope Sergius III, who also murdered Christopher. There should only be one pope at any one time, and Christopher was considered a true pope until the twentieth century, but is now considered an anti-pope, which means that he is now considered not to have been properly elected because Leo was still in prison but alive.
