Deusdedit's birth date is unknown. He was consecrated pope in 615 and died on 8 November 618, and he was known for his charity and zeal. In a time of political trouble he encouraged and supported the clergy, who had been impoverished by the troubles.

When his diocese was struck by a violent earthquake and then by leprosy, he set a heroic example in caring for the sick. The few decrees credited to him are not authentic. He is said to have been the first pope to seal documents with lead. One seal from his reign survives: on one side the Good Shepherd among His sheep, with Alpha and Omega below; on the other, the words Deusdedit Papæ. His feast is 8 November.
