Lando (also known as Landus) was Pope from either July or November 913 to his death in 914. His short pontificate fell during an obscure period in papal and Roman history the so-called Saeculum obscurum (904–64). He was the last pope to use a papal name (in his case his birth name) that had not been previously used until the election of Pope Francis in 2013.According to the Liber pontificalis Lando was born in the Sabina and his father was named Taino.
