Theodosius I Boradiotes (sh)




born , Antioch
died after 1183, Constantinople

Greek Orthodox patriarch of Constantinople (1179-83).

As patriarch, he upheld stringent conversion requirements for converts from Islam against the wishes of Emperor Manuel I Comnenus. He also opposed Manuel's overtures to Pope Alexander III and the Latin church of the West, refusing to cooperate with a proposed reunion of the two branches of Christianity. The succeeding emperor forced Theodosius to abdicate.
