Pope Silverius was bishop of Rome from 8 June 536 to his deposition in 537, a few months before his death. His rapid rise from deacon to the papacy coincided with the efforts of Ostrogothic king Theodahad, who intended to install a pro-Gothic candidate just before the Gothic War. He was later deposed by the Byzantine general Belisarius, tried, and sent into exile on the desolate island of Palmarola, where he starved to death in 537.
