Icon of person Stephen I of Constantinople

Stephen I of Constantinople (Greek: Στέφανος, Stéphanos; November 867 – 18 May 893), called the Macedonian (Greek: ὁ Μακεδών, romanized: ō Makedṓn), was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 886 to 893. Born at Constantinople, Stephen was the son of Eudokia Ingerina and, officially, Emperor Basil I. However, at the time when he was conceived, Eudokia was the mistress of Emperor Michael III. Consequently, it is most probable that like his older brother Leo VI the Wise, Stephen was Michael's son. Castrated by Basil I, Stephen became a monk and was designated for a career in the church since his childhood. In 886, his brother, the new Emperor Leo VI, dismissed Patriarch Photios I and appointed the 19-year-old Stephen in his stead. Read more on Wikipedia
