## Life

The last pope venerated as a martyr: he condemned the emperor’s compromise on Christ’s two wills without waiting for imperial approval, was seized in the Lateran, tried for treason at Constantinople, mocked, chained, and exiled to the Crimea, where he died of ill-treatment, abandoned even by his own church.
