726 CE

Liutprand had not attacked the Exarchate of Ravenna or the Papacy in his early reign as King of the Lombards, but in 726, the Emperor Leo III makes his first of many edicts outlawing images or icons (see the iconoclastic controversy).

The pope, Gregory II, orders the people to resist and the Roman duke of Naples, Exhiliratus, is killed by a mob while trying to carry out the imperial command to destroy all the icons.
