Lando (also known as Landus[1][2]) was elected Pope in either July or August 913.[3] He died about six months later, in either February or March 914.[4]
He was born in Sabina, Italy. His father was reportedly named Taino. He did not change his name on his accession.
Lando is thought to have been a candidate of Theophylact I, Count of Tusculum, who helped him to be elected pope.[5] During his reign, Arab raiders destroyed the cathedral of Vescovio in Sabina.[6]
Lando was pope during the period later known as the Saeculum obscurum, which lasted from 904 to 964.
He was the last pope to use a papal name that had not been previously used until the election of Pope Francis in 2013.[a]
