Pope Benedictus IX., so informations, was 12 years old, when he became pope in 1032. Gregor V. was born in 972 and became pope in 996.

The answer above (12 years old) is not correct.

Please consult the correct answer in this thread.
Thank you.

THe Youngest Pope was 11 years old not 12.

Roberto, did you even attempt to read the thread referred to above? The youngest Pope was 18.

I have heard that the youngest pope was 13, and the pope's name was Benedict V. Son of Benedict IV. His father blackmailed the church to get him in.

God bless you all.

WRONG... the youngest pope was 18. READ PEOPLE, READ.
