STEPHEN II

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STEPHEN II .,
pope
  from
March
  752 to
April
  757, was in deacon's orders when chosen to the vacant see within twelve days after the death of Zacharias." The main difficulty of his pontificate was in connexion with the aggressive attitude of Aistulf, king of the
Lombards
 . After unsuccessful embassies to Aistulf himself and appeals to the emperor
Constantine
 , he, though in feeble
health
 , set out to seek the aid of Pippin, by whom he was received in the neighbourhood of Vitry le Brule in the beginning of 754. He spent the winter at St Denis. The result of his negotiations was the Frankish invasion of Aistulf's territory and the famous " donation " of Pippin. The death of Stephen took place not
long
  after that of Aistulf. He was succeeded by Paul I.
1 A priest named Stephen, elected before him, died three days after, without having received the episcopal
consecration
 .
