855 - Pope Benedict III becomes pope.

公元855年的今天，教皇本笃三世成为教皇。

背景资料：

Benedict III was Pope from 855 to 7 April 858.

Prior to his election, Benedict had a reputation for learning and piety. He was elected upon the refusal of Hadrian, the initial choice of clergy and people. A group of important people preferred a different candidate, Anastasius. This latter group had Benedict's election disavowed and Anastasius installed. However, popular opinion was so strong that Benedict's consecration was allowed. The Emperor Louis II's envoys forced Benedict to handle Anastasius and his adherents leniently. The schism helped to weaken the hold of the emperors upon the popes, especially upon their elections.

天主教教皇本笃三世（858年4月7日卒于罗马市），（在位期间：855年9月29日858年4月7日)。

据记载在他当选之前他以其怜悯和好学而着称。在本笃被选的时候不同获选人的支持者之间爆发了暴乱。一开始他被皇帝所支持的敌对教宗达西三世推翻和关押，后来达西受到的支持减弱后他被营救并与855年9月29日正式被立为教宗。
