Boniface VII (Franco Ferrucci, died July 20, 985), who attained the papal chair in 974, is sometimes styled an antipope. He is supposed to have put Benedict VI to death. A popular tumult compelled him to flee to Constantinople; he carried off a vast treasure, and returned in 984 and removed John XIV, who had been elected in his absence, by murder.
