MARTIN I . succeeded See also:Theodore I. in See also:June or See also:July 649. He had previously acted as papal apocrisiarius at See also:Constantinople, and was held in high repute for learning and virtue. Almost his first See also:official See also:act was to summon a See also:synod (the first Lateran) for dealing with the Monothelite See also:heresy. It met in the Lateran See also:church, was attended by one See also:hundred and five bishops (chiefly from See also:Italy, See also:Sicily and See also:Sardinia, a few being from See also:Africa and other quarters), held five sessions or " secretarii " from the 5th to the 31st of See also:October 649, and in twenty canons condemned the Monothelite heresy, its authors, and the writings by which it had been promulgated. In this condemnation were included, not only the Ecthesis or exposition of faith of the See also:patriarch See also:Sergius for which the See also:emperor See also:Heraclius had stood See also:sponsor, but also the Typus of See also:Paul, the successor of Sergius, which had the support of the reigning emperor (See also:Constans II.). Martin published the decrees of his Lateran synod in an encyclical, and Constans replied by enjoining his See also:exarch to seize the See also:pope and send him prisoner to Constantinople. Martin was arrested in the Lateran (June 15, 6S3), hurried out of See also:Rome, and conveyed first to See also:Naxos and subsequently to Constantinople (See also:Sept. 17, 654). He was ultimately banished to Cherson, where he arrived on the 26th of See also:March 655, and died on the 16th of See also:September following. His successor was See also:Eugenius I. (L. D.*) A full See also:account of the events of his pontificate will be found in See also:Hefele's Conciliengeschichte, vol. iii.

(1877).
