1760, Aug 221823-18291829, Feb 10
the Pope for the Roman Catholic Church from 28 September 1823 to his death in 1829. Leo XII's reign of the Papal States was unpopular and led to uprisings against some of his policies. His election had been facilitated because he was thought to be close to death, but he unexpectedly rallied. He had even remarked about his own health to the cardinals, saying that they would be electing "a dead man". It was said in the conclave that he lifted his robes to show the cardinals a pair of swollen and ulcerated legs to deter them, but that made them even more eager to elect him.
