Pope The John 12th Ki Khani

To thee, the Lord Pope John, I, King Otto, promise and swear, by the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, by the wood of the life-giving cross, and by these relics of the saints, that, if by the will of God I come to Rome, I will exalt to the best of my ability the Holy Roman Church and you its ruler; and never with my will or at my instigation shall you lose life or limb or the honour which you possess. And without your consent never, within the city of Rome, will I hold a plactium (plea) or make any regulation which affects you or the Romans. Whatever territory of St. Peter comes within my grasp, I will give up to The young pope changed his name to John (becoming only the second pope in history to change his name), and he crowned the German king Otto the Great and his wife, Adelaide, as Holy Roman emperor and empress on Feb. 2, 962. But he rebelled when Otto issued his controversial Privilegium Ottonianum (“Ottonian Privilege”), which ordered John to take an oath of obedience to the emperor. On Nov. 6, 963, Otto called a council at St. Peter’s, Rome, which on Dec. 4, 963, deposed John for instigating an armed conspiracy against Otto and for dishonourable conduct. The council replaced John with Pope LEo. In February 964, after Otto left, Leo was deposed by a synood conducted by John. Soon afterward John died, allegedly in the arms of his mistress, ending a private life marked by gross immorality.
