Gregory V succeeded Pope John XV (985\endash 996), when only twenty-four years of age. He was the chaplain of his cousin, Emperor Otto III (983\endash 1002), who presented him as candidate.
Gregory V was the first German Pope. Sometimes Pope Boniface II (530\endash 532) is considered the first German Pope, although he was an Ostrogoth
