GREGORY II

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 568 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GREGORY II .,
pope
  from 715 to 731, succeeded
Constantine
  I., whom he accompanied from
Constantinople
  in 710. Gregory did all in his power to promote the spread of Christianity in Germany, and gave
special
  encouragement to the mission of St
Boniface
 , whom he consecrated
bishop
  in 722. He was a staunch adherent of the
East
  Roman empire, which still exercised sovereignty over Rome, Ravenna and some other parts of Italy, and he impeded as far as possible the progress of the Lombards. About 726, however, he became involved in a conflict with the emperor Leo the Isaurian on account of the excessive taxation of the Italians, and, later, on the question of image
worship
 , which had been proscribed by the government of
Constantinople
 . Leo endeavoured to rid himself of the
pope
  by violence, but Gregory, supported by the people of Rome and also by the Lombards, succeeded in eluding the emperor's attacks, and died peacefully on the I Ith of February 731.
