Maximus Of Naples
Saint Maximus (died 361 AD) was Bishop of Naples, who was sent into exile. Maximus was known as a great defender of the decrees of the Council of Nicaea, especially with the opposition to Arianism. This led to his exile, and being replaced as Bishop of Naples, by Zosimos, who proclaimed the Arianistic doctrine. A well known legend states that each time Zosimos wanted to speak in public, his words would not come out. Many attributed this as a miracle, through the prayers of the exiled Maximus. He would be martyred A martyr (, ''mártys'', 'witness' stem , ''martyr-'') is someone who suffers persecution and death for advocating, renouncing, or refusing to renounce or advocate, a religious belief or other cause as demanded by an external party.

He assisted at the Councils of Barcelona in 599 and Egara in 614, held the Second Council of Zaragoza, against Arianism, in 592, and signed a decree of Gundemar in 610. Maximus also contributed to the Visigothic cultural renaissance of the 6th and 7th centuries, which was continued by such scholars as Isidore of Seville, Eugenius of Toledo and Braulio of Zaragoza. It has been theorized that he wrote the ''Chronicles of Zaragoza'', a history of that time surviving via a 16th-century manuscript copy, because Isidore of Seville notes that Maximus had written on history.

Maximus II Of Antioch
Maximus II of Antioch was a Patriarch of Antioch. After the deposition of Domnus II of Antioch by the Second Council of Ephesus, in 449, Dioscorus I of Alexandria persuaded the emperor Theodosius II to fill the vacancy with one of the clergy of Constantinople. Maximus was selected and ordained, in violation of canon law, by Patriarch Anatolius of Constantinople, without the official sanction of the clergy or people of Antioch. Maximus II, though his elevation was under questionable conditions, gained a positive reputation in the conduct of his diocese and province. He dispatched ''epistolae tractoriae'' through the churches subject to him as metropolitan, requiring the signatures of the bishops to Pope Leo I's famous ''Leo's Tome'' and to another document condemning both Nestorius and Eutyches. Having thus discreetly assured his position, he was summoned to the Council of Chalcedon in October 451 and took his seat without question, and when the acts of the Second Council of E ...

Archbishop Maximus I Of Constantinople
Maximus I of Constantinople, also known as ''Maximus the Cynic'' (), was the intrusive archbishop of Constantinople in 380, where he became a rival of Gregory of Nazianzus. Biography Born in Alexandria into a poor family, Maximus was the son of Christian parents, who had suffered on account of their religion; but whether from Pagan or Arian violence is not clear. Maximus united the faith of an orthodox believer with the garb and deportment of a Cynic philosopher. He was initially held in great respect by the leading theologians of the orthodox party. Athanasius of Alexandria, in a letter written about 371, pays him several compliments on a work written in defence of the orthodox faith. In 374, during the reign of the Roman emperor Valens, in the persecution carried on by Lucius of Alexandria, Arian patriarch of Alexandria, Maximus was flogged, and banished to the Oasis, on account of his zeal for orthodoxy and the aid he offered to those who suffered in the same cause.Greg ...
