Biography

Montana seems to be an endentured servant of a recently deceased priest, Gaudiosus, whom the pope sets free in this letter, along with a fellow servant, Thomas. Gregory grants Montana Roman citizenship and two ounces from the legacy of the priest. He also allows her to enter a monastery as a conversa, a lay servant.
