View source for Stephen IV of Rome

Pope '''Stephen IV of Rome''' was the [[Pope]] of the [[Church of Rome]] from 768 to 772. Pope Stephen was elected to the papal [[see]] after a previously elected successor to Pope [[Zacharias of Rome|Zacharias]], also Stephen, died before his [[consecration]]. This has resulted in confused regnal numbering when the Annuario Pontificio de-listed Stephen II and listed Stephen III as Stephen II (III). As a consequence, Pope Stephen IV may also be listed as Stephen III.
