Felix IV was
pope from
526 to
530. He came from Samnium, the son of one Castorius. Following the death of
Pope John I at the hands of the
Ostrogoth King
Theodoric the Great, the papal voters gave in to the King's demands and chose Cardinal Felix as Pope. Felix's favor in the eyes of the King caused him to push for greater benefits for the Church.
