Pope Innocent V (Savoy, c. 1225 – June 22, 1276 in Rome), born Pierre de Tarentaise, Pope from January 21 to June 22, 1276, was born around 1225 near Moutiers in the Tarentaise region of southeastern France. In early life, he joined the Dominican Order, in which he acquired great fame as a preacher. The only noteworthy feature of his brief and uneventful pontificate was the practical form assumed by his desire for reunion with the Eastern Church. He was proceeding to send legates to Michael VIII Palaeologus (1261–82), the Eastern Roman Emperor, in connection with the recent decisions of the Second Council of Lyons, when he died.
Pope Innocent V was the author of several works in philosophy, theology, and canon law, including commentaries on the Pauline epistles and on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, and is sometimes referred to as famosissimus doctor.
