Pope Conon
Head of the Catholic Church from 686 to 687 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pope Conon (Greek: Κόνων, romanized: Konōn; died 21 September 687) was the bishop of Rome from 21 October 686 to his death. He had been put forward as a compromise candidate, there being a conflict between the two factions resident in Rome — the military and the clerical. He consecrated the Irish missionary St Kilian and commissioned him to preach in Franconia.
