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