FLAVIAN (d. 449) , See also:bishop of See also:Constantinople, and an adherent of the Antiochene school, succeeded See also:Proclus in 447. He presided at the See also:council which deposed See also:Eutyches (q.v.) in 448, but in the following See also:year he was deposed by the council of See also:Ephesus (the " robber See also:synod "), which reinstated Eutyches in his See also:office. Flavian's See also:death shortly afterwards was attributed, by a pious fiction, to See also:ill treatment at the hands of his theological opponents. The council of See also:Chalcedon canonized him as a See also:martyr, and in the Latin See also:Church he is commemorated on the 18th of See also:February.
