Editing Pope Eugene II (section)

==Early career==

In earlier editions of the ''[[Liber Pontificalis]]'' Eugene is said to have been the son of Boemund, but in the more recent and more accurate editions, his father's name is not given. While he was archpriest of [[Santa Sabina|St Sabina on the Aventine]], and was said to have fulfilled most conscientiously the duties of his position. Eugene is described by his biographer as simple and humble, learned and eloquent, handsome and generous, a lover of peace, and wholly occupied with the thought of doing what was pleasing to [[God]].<ref name=Mann>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05598b.htm Mann, Horace.
