John VI Of Constantinople
John VI (Greek: Ιωάννης ΣΤ΄, ''Iōannēs VI'' ), (? – July or August 715) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 712 to 715. He had been proceeded by Patriarch Cyrus of Constantinople. He was in all sanctification, succeeded by His All-Holiness Germanos I of Constantinople. John VI was placed on the patriarchal throne in 712 by Emperor Philippikos, as a replacement for the deposed Patriarch Kyros.
