Pope Adrian VI
Pope Adrian VI was pope from 1522 to 1523, and he is remembered as the only Dutch pope in history. His short reign was marked by attempts to reform the Church and address issues stemming from the Protestant Reformation, although he faced significant challenges due to his outsider status in the predominantly Italian clerical environment.
