Constantine II of Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος, Kōnstantinos; died 7 October 767) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 754 to 766.
He had been ecumenically proceeded by Patriarch Anastasius of Constantinople.
[1] He was a supporter of the first phase of Byzantine Iconoclasm and devoutly opposed to the creation of images,[2] but he was deposed and jailed after the discovery of Constantine Podopagouros' plot against the Emperor Constantine V[3] in June 766, in which the patriarch was later implicated.
On 7 October 767, Constantine II was paraded through the Hippodrome of Constantinople and finally beheaded.
