Notes - The Tusculum popes were either descendants of or aligned with Theophylact and his family from Latium, near Rome. His descendants were so powerful in tenth-century Italy that the were known as the "pope makers." Through the sexual exploits of his daughters, Theodora and Marozia, the family controlled the papacy for much of the tenth century and the first half of the eleventh century.
Because of these women, this era has been called the "Pornocracy."
