#onthisday in 827 #pope Eugene II died. A #Frankish pope, he was elected in 824 through the influence of the #Franks and #Roman nobles over Zinzinnus, preferred by the #clergy. He banned simony, supported #church #schools and suspended untrained and ignorant clergy. He conspired with #emperor #louisthepious to enact a law that no pope could be elected without Frankish approval. #otd #Catholicism #RomanCatholicism #catholic #history #histodons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Eugene_II
