When she had reigned for two years and a bit, she became pregnant by her old lover, and while walking in procession gave birth, and thus her sin was revealed and she was deposed.(7)

There is no mention at all of her eventual demise, which was obviously not considered relevant." and for ye of little faith or were kept in the darkest of places : "His version explains that, as a result of the female pope's public revelation:

She was deposed for her incontinence, and taking up the religious habit, lived in penitence for such a long time that she saw her son made Bishop of Hostia [Ostia near Rome]. When, in her final days, she perceived her death approaching, she instructed that her burial should be in that place where she had given birth, which nevertheless her son would not permit. Having removed her body to Hostia, he buried her with honour in the Cathedral. On account of which, God has worked many miracles right up to the present day.(8)

How different this is from the familiar account of Martin Polonus. Not only is Joan left to repent her sins in a nunnery, but her son survives his unusual beginnings to rise to the rank of bishop! Furthermore, the figure of the woman pope starts to take on some very saintly characteristics, and miracles even occur in her name. Unfortunately no other sources confirm these odd assertions, which were interpolated into the single Chronicon manuscript some time after 1400. The Cathedral at Ostia never claimed to possess Joan's body"

Here is a curious thing. Some are speaking of Pope Jaon the 7th, but a Pope Joan the 4th was hanged with her baby in her arms!!

This means there was more than one female Pope or Popesse.
