Theophylact of Constantinople

Theophylact of Constantinople

Theophylact Lekapenos (or Lecapenus; Greek: Θεοφύλακτος Λεκαπηνός, Theophylaktos Lekapenos; 917 – 27 February 956) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 2 February 933 to his death in 956. Theophylact was the youngest son of Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos and his wife Theodora. Romanos planned to make his son patriarch as soon as Nicholas Mystikos died in 925, but two minor patriarchates and a two-year vacancy passed before Theophylact was considered old enough to discharge his duties as patriarch (as he was still only sixteen years old).
