The birth dates and even years of early Popes are frequently not available. In modern times, Popes have generally been elected at older ages. Today a man of 65 years is generally considered too young to be Pope. The youngest Pope was probably either

+ Pope Benedict IX who became Pope at an unknown age between 11 and 20

+ Pope John XII who was 18 at the beginning of his papacy
