Boniface VII (Franco Ferrucci, died July 20, 985), who attained the papal chair in 974, is sometimes styled an antipope. He is supposed to have put Pope Benedict VI (973–974) to death. A popular tumult compelled him to flee to Constantinople; he carried off a vast treasure, and returned in 984 and removed Pope John XIV (983–984) from office, who had been elected in his absence, by murder. After a brief rule from 984 to 985 he was murdered.
