Holy See / Papa Innocentius (Pope Innocent I)

Pope Innocent I served as the Catholic Church Pope from 401 to his death in 417.

According to his biographer in the Liber Pontificalis, Innocent was a native of Albano Laziale and the son of a man called Innocentius, but his contemporary Jerome referred to him as the son of the previous pope, Anastasius I, probably a unique case of a son succeeding his father in the papacy. According to Urbano Cerri, Pope Innocent was a native of Albania.
