I was a son of a wealthy Roman senator and Saint Silvia Nephew of Saint Emiliana and Saint Tarsilla. Great-grandson of Pope Saint Felix III.I was Educated by the finest teachers in Rome.I was Prefect of Rome for a year, then I sold my possessions, turned my home into a Benedictine monastery, and used my money to build six monasteries in Sicily and one in Rome. Benedictine monk. Upon seeing English children being sold in the Roman Forum, I became a missionary to England.I was Elected 64th Pope by unanimous acclamation on 3 September 590, the first monk to be chosen. I sent Saint Augustine of Canterbury and a company of monks to evangelize England, and other missionaries to France, Spain, and Africa.I collected the melodies and plain chant so associated with me that they are now known as Gregorian Chants. I was one of the four great Doctors of the Latin Church.I wrote seminal works on the Mass and Office.
