Paschal II (born c. 1050, Bieda di Galeata, near Ravenna [Italy]—died Jan. 21, 1118, Rome) was the pope from 1099 to 1118. John XVIII was probably forced to resign in late June or early July, 1009 — almost exactly one thousand years ago.

Who was the 12 year old pope : Benedict IX
The age we can most confidently attribute to Theophylactus of Tusculum when he became Benedict IX is 12 years old. Some historians contend that Pope John XII was actually the youngest pope ever. His date of birth is also uncertain, and he's said to have started his papacy somewhere between the age of 18 and 25 in 955.
What pope was killed : David Yallop, who was able to interview Sister Vincenza Taffarel, describes in his 1984 bestselling book In God's Name: An Investigation into the Murder of Pope John Paul I how she discovered the pope's body: At 4:30 a.m. Friday, September 29, Sister Vincenza carried a flask of coffee to the study as usual.
Which pope was tried after his death
Pope Formosus
In 897, the 9-month-old corpse of the late Pope Formosus stood trial by the reigning pontiff, Stephen VII. Stephen VII convicted Formosus, sentenced the cadaveric Pope to have three fingers of his right hand amputated and then had him buried in a common grave. The later development of canon law has been in favor of papal supremacy, leaving no recourse to the removal of a pope involuntarily. The most recent pope to resign was Benedict XVI, who vacated the Holy See on 28 February 2013, the date of his effective resignation.Pope John Paul II –
