Background

Born around 379 in Rome as a legitimate son through marriage of Pope Anastasius I, of the Theodosian hereditary Papal dynasty.

Upon the untimely death of his father (Pope Anastasius) in 401, Innocent was elected Pope at the very young age of 22.

An immensely cruel and psychopathic ruler, his reign saw the first precise, systematic mass human sacrifices in human history through the use of ovens to burn people alive. Only Adolf Hitler and Pope Pius XII were responsible for more human sacrifices through burning people alive in World War II.

The unrestrained evil of Innocent was so abhorant that Alaric made the audacious and daring raid into Italy and to Rome in an attempt to either capture or kill Innocent. But he managed to escape just before the sack of Rome in 410.

The highly suspect Liber Pontificalis ("Lives of the Pope") lists that following the death of Innocent in 417, he was succeeded by Pope Zosimus for one year before Boniface I, the son of Innocent took the Papal throne.

This one year Papal reign happens to coincide perfectly with the famous feud between Boniface and Eulalius, the two legitimate sons, by marriage, of Innocent.

There is no evidence to suggest Western Emperor Honorius (395-423) and cousin of Innocent would have broken the families dynastic hold on the Papacy, nor permitted a usurping family to gain a foothold.

Instead, the most likely scenario is that the Papacy was vacant (as it had on many occassion) for the year until Boniface triumphed against his brother and became Pope. The existence and reign of Zosimus like many early Popes listed is a complete fabrication.
