See also:JOHN XVI ., See also:pope or antipope from 997 to 998, was a Calabrian See also:Greek by See also:birth, and a favourite of the empress See also:Theophano, from whom he had received the bishopric of Placentia. His See also:original name was Philagathus. In 995 he was sent by See also:Otto III. on an See also:embassy to See also:Constantinople to negotiate a See also:marriage with a Greek princess. On his way back he either accidentally or at the See also:special See also:request of Crescentius visited See also:Rome. A little before this See also:- GREGORY

Gregory V., at the end of 996, had been compelled to flee from the See also:city; and the wily and ambitious Greek had now no See also:scruple in accepting the papal See also:tiara from the hands of Crescentius. The arrival of Otto at Rome in the See also:spring of 998 put a sudden end to the teacherous compact. John sought safety in See also:flight, but was discovered in his See also:place of hiding and brought back to Rome, where after enduring cruel and ignominious tortures he was immured in a See also:dungeon.
