Pope Gregory III
head of the Catholic Church
Years: 680 - 741
Pope Saint Gregory III (died 28 November 741) is pope from 11 February 731 to 28 November 741.
His pontificate, like that of his predecessor, is disturbed by the iconoclastic controversy in the Byzantine Empire, and by the ongoing advance of the Lombards, in which he vainly invokes the intervention of Charles Martel.
