This article appears in Volume V28, Page 950 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZACHARIAS, ST ,
pope
  from 741 to 752, was a Greek by
birth
 , and appears to have been on intimate terms with Gregory III., whom he succeeded (November 741). Contemporary history dwells chiefly on his
great
  personal influence with the Lombard king Luitprand, and with his successor Rachis; it was largely through his tact in dealing with these princes in a variety of emergencies that the exarchate of Ravenna was rescued from becoming
part
  of the Lombard kingdom. A correspondence, of considerable extent and of
great
 
interest
 , between Zacharias and St
Boniface
 , the apostle of Germany, is still extant, and shows how great was the influence of this
pope
  on events then passing in France and Germany: he encouraged the deposition of Childeric, and it was with his sanction that
Boniface
  crowned Pippin as king of the
Franks
  at Soissons in 752. Zacharias is stated to have remonstrated with the emperor
Constantine
  Copronymus on the
part
  he had taken in the iconoclastic controversy. He died on the 14th of
March
  752, and was succeeded by Stephen II.
The letters and decrees of Zacharias are published in Migne, Patrolog. lat. lxxxix. p. 917-960.
