| Catholic Encyclopedia - Pope St. Silverius, the son of Pope St. Hormisdas. Named pope while yet a subdeacon, to thwart the Monophysites. Exiled through a forgery of his political and religious enemies, died of starvation in prison, probably in 537.
| | The Ecole Glossary - Brief article by Karen Rae Keck says that St. Silverius opposed the Monothelites, and may have been murdered rather than starved.
