    "I'm Pope Boniface VIII or known as Benedetto Caetani. I was born on c. 1230 and I died on October 11, 1303. I was the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 24 December 1294 to his death, in 1303. The Caetani family was of baronial origin, with my connections to the papacy. I was succeeded Pope Celestine V, who had I made abdicated from the papal throne. I spent my early career abroad in diplomatic roles."
