BONIFACE II ., See also:pope from 530 to 532, was by See also:birth a Goth, and owed his See also:election to the nomination of his predecessor, See also:Felix IV., and to the See also:influence of the See also:Gothic See also:king. The See also:Roman See also:electors had opposed to him a See also:priest of See also:Alexandria called Dioscorus, who died a See also:month after his election, and thus See also:left the position open for him. Boniface endeavoured to nominate his own successor, thus transforming into See also:law, or at least into See also:custom, the proceeding by which he had benefited; but the See also:clergy and the See also:senate of See also:Rome forced him to See also:cancel this arrangement.
