| Pope Linus I |
Pope Linus I is the 2nd Roman Catholic
Pope and follows Peter. Linus I is one of three popes mentioned in
the New Testament. He was pope from 67AD to his death in 76AD.
Pope Linus I is a child of Caradog ap Bran, King of Wales and
the 59th generation from grandmother Ida America Iden. Linus I
is also an ancestor of Lee Darling Gee, Jr., maternal grandfather
of Christoper Sean Patrick Frye. (Some sources consider Pope
Linus I to be the son of Caractacus Gweirdd ap Cunobelin, King
of the Catuvellaun and not Caradog ap Bran. If that is true,
then Pope Linus I may not be an ancestor.)

| Pope Victor II |
Pope Victor II (c. 1018 – 28 July 1057),
born Gebhard II von Calw, was the head of the
Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 13 April 1055
until his death in 1057.[1] Victor II was one of a series of
German-born popes who led the Gregorian Reform.
Gebhard, taking the name Victor II, moved to Rome, where, in St.
Peter's Basilica on 13 April 1055, he was officially chosen pope
by the clergy and hailed by the people; he was immediately
enthroned by the cardinals
Victor died at Arezzo, on 28 July 1057. He had ruled for two
years, three months, and 27 (or 28, or 13) days. His death
marked an end to the close relationship shared between the
Salian dynasty and the papacy. Victor's retinue wished to bring
his remains to the cathedral at Eichstätt for burial. Before
they reached the city, however, the remains were seized by some
citizens of Ravenna and buried there in the Church of Santa
Maria Rotonda, the burial place of Theodoric the Great.
He was the last pope of German origin, until Pope Benedict XVI
was elected, 950 years later.
Pope Victor II is the 33rd generation from Rella Ruthine
Taylor.

| Pope Gregory X |
Pope Gregory X (Latin: Gregorius X;
c. 1210 – 10 January 1276), born Teobaldo Visconti, was head of
the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 1
September 1271 to his death and was a member of the Secular
Franciscan Order. He was elected at the conclusion of a papal
election that ran from 1268 to 1271, the longest papal election
in the history of the Catholic Church.
As to Gregory's regulations on the conduct of the conclave,
though briefly annulled by Adrian V and John XXI, they remained
in force until the 20th century. In 1798 Pope Pius VI, in
consideration of the occupation of Rome by the French, dispensed
the Cardinals from many of the conclave regulations, including
those of Gregory X, while in 1878 Pope Pius IX, fearing that the
Italians might invade the Vatican on his death and try to
prevent or dominate a conclave, gave Cardinals great latitude in
the regulating of the next conclave.
Pope Gregory's health had worsened after he left Lyons in April
1275. He was suffering from a hernia, and so he was forced to
stop frequently on the way back toward Rome. He departed Vienne
shortly after 30 September 1275 and arrived in Lausanne on 6
October 1275.[35] In Lausanne, he met with the Emperor-elect
Rudolph, King of the Romans, and on 20 October 1275, received
his oath of fealty.[36] On Tuesday, 12 November 1275, he was in
Milan. His party reached Reggio Aemilia on 5 December 1275, and
they were in Bologna on 11 December 1275. A severe rise in his
temperature and the presence of the hernia forced him to a halt
at Arezzo in time for Christmas of 1275. His condition rapidly
declined following this and led to his death on 10 January 1276
in Arezzo. He is buried inside the Cathedral Church of Arezzo.
Pope Gregory X is the 26th generation from Rella Ruthine Taylor.
