Antipope Boniface VIIBoniface VII (Franco Ferruci, died July 20, 985), who attained the papal chair in 974, is sometimes styled an antipope. He is supposed to have put Benedict VI to death. A popular tumult compelled him to flee to Constantinople; he carried off a vast treasure, and returned in 984 and removed John XIV, who had been elected in his absence, by murder.See also: Pope John XV This article uses text from the 9th edition (1880s) of an unnamed encyclopedia.
