Antipope John VIII
Antipope John VIII or Antipope John was an antipope of the Roman Catholic church, in the year 844.

They seized the Lateran Palace and enthroned him there. However, the lay aristocracy elected as pope the elderly, nobly born archpriest Sergius, ejected John from the Lateran, and swiftly crushed the opposition. Read more on Wikipedia
