Pope leo x's papacy started in march 1513 and ended on december 1, 1521, encompassing a period of just under nine years
This timeframe is crucial for understanding his role in the religious and cultural developments of the early 16th century.
Born at florence, 11 december, 1475 Leo was elected on march 11 at the age of 37 His reign proved far from peaceful, as evidenced by the fact that several cardinals hatched a plot to poison him in 1517, for which one was killed, numerous others imprisoned, and the roman curia filled with new cardinals supportive of his rule. Pope leo x was the 216th pope of the roman catholic church, serving from 1513 to 1521
He is best known for his lavish lifestyle, patronage of the arts, and significant role in the events leading up to the protestant reformation, particularly his opposition to martin luther's reform efforts. The fifth lateran council began under pope julius in 1512 and continued on until 1517
