From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
Neophytos I (Greek: Νεόφυτος Α') was a 12th-century clergyman who served as Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in 1153. Neophytos was a monk at the Monastery of
Theotokos the Benefactor before being elevated to the Patriarchal throne after
the death in office of his predecessor. His short reign as Patriarch of
Constantinople—of about a year—was uneventful, and he retired to become an ascetic.[1] His short reign was during the rule of Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus.
