Constantine
II was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 754 to 766. He was deposed and jailed after
the discovery of Constantine Podopagouros'
plot against Emperor Constantine V in June 766, in which the patriarch was later
implicated. In autumn 767, he was paraded through the Hippodrome of Constantinople,
and finally beheaded.
