Pope Adrian III , and was in turn succeeded byPope Formosus . In his dealings withConstantinople in the matter of Photius, as also in his relations with the young Slavonic church, he pursued the policy ofPope Nicholas I .His father, Hadrian, who belonged to the Roman aristocracy, entrusted his education to his relative, Bishop Zachary, librarian of the
Holy See . Stephen was createdcardinal-priest of SS. Quattro Coronati byMarinus I , and his obvious holiness was the cause of his being chosen pope.He was consecrated in September, 885, without waiting for the imperial confirmation; but when
Charles the Fat found with what unanimity he had been elected he let the matter rest.Stephen was called upon to face a famine caused by a drought and by locusts, and as the papal treasury was empty he had to fall back on his father's wealth to relieve the poor, to redeem captives, and to repair churches.
To promote order he adopted
Guy III of Spoleto "as his son" and crowned him Emperor (891). He also recognizedLouis the Blind as King of Provence. As Aurelian,Archbishop of Lyon , would not consecrateTeutbold who had been canonically electedBishop of Langres , Stephen himself consecrated him.He had also to oppose the arbitrary proceedings of theArchbishop s ofBordeaux andRavenna , and to resist the attacks which the Patriarch Photius made on theHoly See . His resistance was successful, and the Emperor Leo Sent the disturber into exile. When writing against Photius, he begged the emperor to send warships and soldiers to enable him to ward off the assaults of theSaracens .Stephen, who received many English
pilgrim s and envoys bringingPeterspence , was buried in theportico of thebasilica of that Apostle.External links
