His rapid rise to prominence from a deacon to the papacy coincided with the efforts of Ostrogothic king Theodahad, who intended to install a pro-Gothic candidate just before the Gothic War. Later deposed by Byzantine general Belisarius, he was tried and sent to exile on the desolated island of Palmarola, where he starved to death in 537.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"477","date":"0477"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Frosinone","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13413"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"20 June 537","date":"0537-06-20"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Ponza","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q128134"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315#P20"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"Catholic priest","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q250867"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315#P106"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Pope (0536–0537)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19546","start":"0536-06-10","end":"0537-03"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Silverius","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Pope Silverius born?","a":"Pope Silverius was born on 477 in Frosinone."},{"q":"What positions has Pope Silverius held?","a":"Positions held by Pope Silverius include: Pope (0536–0537)."}],"related":[{"name":"Pope Telesphorus","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-telesphorus"},{"name":"Pope Gregory XIII","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-gregory-xiii"},{"name":"Pope Clement VII","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-clement-vii"},{"name":"Pope Pius I","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-pius-i"},{"name":"Pope Boniface I","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-boniface-i"},{"name":"Pope Agapetus I","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-agapetus-i"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/pope-silverius-c06f77fb1b.jpg","width":380,"height":614,"license":"Public domain","credit":"http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Deep_also_it","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Silverius2.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Pope Silverius","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Silverius","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q149315","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q149315","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Silverius2.jpg by http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Deep_also_it (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Silverius2.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Pope Silverius, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
