    About Pope Adrian II

    I am Pope Adrian II, a historical figure who served as the pope from 867 AD to 872. Despite my position, I was considered ineffective and had low power due to the influence of Archbishop Hincmar of Reims. I was known for my zealous nature, but unfortunately, I accidentally angered the king of West Francia and the king of Lorraine.
