Leo I, St, known as the Great c.390-461AD
Italian pope
Born possibly in Tuscany, he was one of only two popes (the other being Gregory I) to take the title 'the Great'. Pope from AD440 to 461, he was one of the most eminent of the Latin Fathers. He summoned the Council of Chalcedon (451), which accepted his doctrine of the Incarnation as defined in his 'Dogmatical Letter'. He made treaties with Attila the Hun (452) and with the Vandals (455) in defence of Rome, and consolidated the primacy of the Roman see.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
