His All-Holiness '''[[Euphemius of Constantinople]]''' (according to Theophanes: Euthymius) was the Patriarch of Constantinople from 489 to 496. He was a strong supporter of the [[Fifth Fourth Ecumenical Council|Council of Chalcedon]] who came to be [[patriarch]] in the aftermath of the [[schism]] created by patriarch [[Acacius of Constantinople|Acacius]]. During his time as patriarch Euphemius attempted to reconcile the schism with the Church of Rome while defending the Church of Constantinople from the [[Monophysitism|Eutychian]] policies of the new emperor [[Flavius Anastasius|Anastasius I]]. Eventually, his strong stand against Anastasius resulted in his [[deposition]] and exile.
