St. Hilary was born in Sardinia. He was one of the papal legates to the Robber Council of Ephesus in 449 who barely escaped alive. He was consecrated Pope on November 19, 461. He worked to improve ecclesiastical discipline in Gaul and Spain; he ruled on some disputes between bishops and held councils in Rome in 462 and 465 to settle the matters. He rebuilt many Roman churches and built a chapel of St. John the Apostle in the baptistery of St. John Lateran in thanksgiving for his escape from Ephesus. He worked diligently to straighten out erroneous matters within the Church. He died in Rome on February 28.
