Election of Pope Paul VI:
Election of Pope John Paul I:
Election of Pope John Paul II:
Election of Pope Benedict XVI:
Election of Pope Francis:
Pope John XXI (c. 1215 – 20 May 1277), born Pedro Julião, was the bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church from 8 September 1276 to his death. He is the only ethnically Portuguese pope in history. He is sometimes identified with the logician and herbalist Peter of Spain, which would make him the only pope to have been a physician.
This was the only Portuguese Pope, although there had been another Pope born in what is now Portuguese territory centuries before.
