Zachary, Pope (Papal States) : All Data
Zachary, the Pope of the Papal States, reigned from 743 to 752. During his tenure, he faced several significant conflicts, including the Lombard Wars. These wars, which took place from 751 to 756, saw the Papal States fighting against the Lombard Kingdom for control over central Italy. Although the Lombard Wars occurred after Zachary's reign, it is possible that he played a role in laying the groundwork for these conflicts, as tensions between the Papal States and the Lombards had been escalating for years.
