Constantine, born into a noble Roman family …
Years: 767 - 767
Constantine, born into a noble Roman family in Nepi near Viterbo, is one of four brothers, of which the most prominent is Toto of Nepi.
Toto, the papal governor and self-styled "Duke" of Nepi, had begun to position himself to take advantage of the expected death of Pope Paul I, and elevate his own candidate onto the papal throne.
Forced by Christophorus, the Primicerius of the notaries, to take an oath to respect the traditional clerical method of papal elections, Toto has retired to his estates in Nepi.
Here, with the help of Constantine and his brothers, they collect troops from his duchy and other parts of Tuscany, in addition to arming a group of peasants to swell his numbers.
