===Pope Gregory V===

{{Main|Pope Gregory V}}

Bruno—the future Pope Gregory&nbsp;V—was a younger son of Otto of Worms.{{sfn|Wolfram|2006|p=18}} His father's cousin, Otto&nbsp;III, placed him on the papal throne in 996, ignoring the provisions of his own ''[[Diploma Ottonianum]]'' on papal elections. Bruno, who was the first German pope, assumed his papal name in memory of [[Pope Gregory I|Pope Gregory the Great]]. He crowned Otto&nbsp;III emperor on the [[Feast of the Ascension]] in the same year. The Roman aristocrat [[Crescentius the Younger]] expelled him from Rome, but the Emperor crushed the revolt and restored the papal throne to Gregory&nbsp;V. The Pope died at the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven in 999.{{sfn|Weinfurter|1999|p=190 (note 1)}}{{sfn|Schutz|2010|pp=84, 88}}
