John VI Of Constantinople
John VI of Constantinople (Greek: Ἰωάννης, ''Iōannēs''; died July 715) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 712 to 715. He had been preceded by Patriarch Kyros of Constantinople. He was in all sanctification, succeeded by Germanus I of Constantinople. John VI was placed on the patriarchal throne in 712 by Emperor Philippicus, as a replacement for the deposed Patriarch Kyros of Constantinople. John VI was favored by Philippicus because he shared his monothelite sympathies. The religious policy of the new patriarch and his emperor caused the temporary rupture of relations with the Church of Rome. However, in 715 the new Emperor Anastasius II deposed John VI and replaced him with the Orthodox Patriarch Germanus I of Constantinople.

List Of Ecumenical Patriarchs Of Constantinople
The following is a chronological list of Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, bishops and ecumenical patriarchs of Constantinople.

The list is mostly based on the compilation made by Demetrius Kiminas, but there is no single "official" numbering of bishops.

Anastasius II (emperor)
Anastasius II (; died 719), born Artemius (, was the Byzantine emperor from 713 to 715. His reign was marked by significant religious and political decisions aimed at stabilizing the Empire. One of his notable actions was reversing the previous appointment of a Monothelete patriarch of Constantinople, instead reinstating Orthodoxy by appointing Germanus I to the position. This move was made in an effort to gain the favor of Pope Constantine. Anastasius II dedicated his efforts to fortifying the Empire and fostering a period of stability. However, his reign was cut short when he was deposed by Theodosius III during the Byzantine campaign against the Umayyad Caliphate in 715. Undeterred, four years later, in 719, Anastasius launched a rebellion against Leo III the Isaurian in a bid to reclaim the imperial throne. Initially, Anastasius received support from Tervel of Bulgaria, who provided soldiers and funds for his cause. However, the situation took a turn when Anastasius failed ...

Both doctrines were at the center of Christological disputes during the 7th century. Monothelitism is from . Theological notions related to the ''oneness'' of Christ's will emerged as a result of some earlier Christological controversies that were related to monophysitism as formulated by Eutyches (d. 456) and miaphysitism as formulated by non-Chalcedonian followers of Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444).

Philippicus
Philippicus (; ), born Bardanes (; ) was Byzantine emperor from 711 to 713. He took power in a coup against the unpopular emperor Justinian II, and was deposed in a similarly violent manner nineteen months later. During his brief reign, Philippicus supported monothelitism in Byzantine theological disputes, and saw conflict with the First Bulgarian Empire and the Umayyad Caliphate. Biography Philippicus was originally named Bardanes (; ); he was the son of the patrician Nicephorus, who was of Armenian extraction from an Armenian colony in Pergamum. The Armenian background of Philippicus has been supported by Byzantinist historians Peter Charanis and Nicholas Adontz, and disputed by Anthony Kaldellis. Kaldellis adds that Bardanes was probably born and raised in the Byzantine realm, as his father Nicephorus possibly was. Contemporaneous sources attest to Bardanes' tutoring, scholarly interests, learning and eloquence, all of which were in Greek. Byzantine historians Leslie Brubaker ...
