John XIV (d. August 20, 984), Pope from 983 to 984, successor to Pope Benedict VII (974–983), was born at Pavia, and before his elevation to the papal chair was imperial chancellor of Emperor Otto II (973–983), and was the latter's second choice. His original name was Peter, but he changed it to John XIV avoid being linked to St. Peter himself. Otto II died
shortly after his election; his heir, Otto III (983–1002), being only 3 years old. Antipope Boniface VII (974, 984–985), on the strength of the popular feeling against the new Pope, returned from Constantinople and placed John XIV in prison, in Castel Sant'Angelo, where he died either by starvation or poison.
