Bishops of Byzantium (until 330)[edit]

On May 11, 330 the town of Constantinople was consecrated by the Roman emperor Constantine I on the site of an already-existing city, Byzantium, thus becoming the capital of the East Roman Empire (known also as Byzantine Empire).

Archbishops of Constantinople (330–451 inclusive)[edit]

Patriarchs of Constantinople (since 451)[edit]

since 451-998[edit]

999-1453[edit]

On May 29, 1453 occurred the Fall of Constantinople, thus marking the end of the Byzantine Empire. The Ecumenical Patriarchate became subject to the Ottoman Empire.

1453-1466[edit]

There are different suggestions by scholars for the succession of the Patriarchs from 1462 to 1466. The main positions are the following:

According to Kiminas (2009):[1]

  • 161. Joasaph I, Apr 1462 - Apr 1463
  • Gennadius II, Apr 1463 - June 1463
  • 162. Sophronius I, Jun 1463 - Aug 1464
  • Gennadius II, Aug 1464 - aut. 1465
  • 163. Mark II, aut. 1465 - aut. 1466
  • 164. Symeon I, au. 1466 - end 1466

According to Laurent (1968):[2]

  • Joasaph I, Apr 1462 - Apr 1463
  • Gennadius II, Apr 1463 - May 1463
  • Sophronius I, May 1463 - July 1464
  • Gennadius II, Aug 1464 - aut. 1465
  • Symeon I, autumn 1465
  • Mark II, beg. 1466 - aut. 1466

According to Gemanos of Sardeis (1933–38):[3]

  • Gennadius II, sum. 1462 - sum. 1463
  • Sophronius I, Aug 1463 - Aug 1464
  • Gennadius II, Aug 1464 - aut. 1464
  • Joasaph I, beg. 1465 - beg. 1466
  • Mark II, beg. 1466 - mid 1466
  • Symeon I, mid 1466 - end 1466

1466-1833[edit]

On July 23, 1833 the Church of Greece declared itself autocephalous. It was followed by the Romanian Orthodox Church in 1864, Bulgarian Exarchate in 1872, Serbian Church in 1879, thus reducing the extension of the Ecumenical Patriarchate

1833-1923[edit]

On July 24, 1923 the Ottoman Empire dissolved, replaced by the Republic of Turkey

1923-present[edit]
