Pope-elect Stephen

Pope-elect Stephen, before 1961 previously known as Pope Stephen II, was a Roman cardinal-priest and presbyter selected on 23 March 752 to succeed Pope Zachary. Because he died before his episcopal consecration, Stephen is merely considered a pope-elect rather than a legitimate pope.
