Stephen VII, pope from May 896 to July-August 897, succeeded pope Boniface VI, and was in turn followed by Romanus?.
He is remembered only in connexion with his conduct towards the remains of Formosus, his last predecessor but one. It excited a tumult, which ended in his imprisonment and his death by strangling.
from the 9th edition (1887) of an unnamed encyclopedia.
