Pope John XV is mentioned in the Dagome iudex, one of the earliest written records of the nation of Poland.
Pope John XV (Latin: Ioannes XV; died March 996) was the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from August 985 until his death. A Roman by birth, he was the first pope who canonized a saint. The origins of the investiture controversy stem from John XV's pontificate, when the dispute about the deposition of Archbishop Arnulf of Reims soured the relationship between the Capetian kings of France and the Holy See.
