Theophylact Lekapenos (Greek: Θεοφύλακτος Λεκαπηνός; 917 – 27 February 956) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 2 February 933 to his death in 956. Theophylact was the youngest son of Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos and his wife Theodora. Romanos I planned to make his son patriarch as soon as Patriarch Nicholas I died in 925, but two minor patriarchates and a two-year vacancy passed before Theophylact was considered old enough to discharge his duties as patriarch (as he was still only sixteen years old). At this time, or before, he was castrated to help his career in the church. Read more on Wikipedia
