Pope Gregory II

head of the Catholic Church

669 CE to 731 CE

Pope Saint Gregory II (669 – 11 February 731) is pope from May 19, 715 to his death on February 11, 731.

His defiance of the Byzantine emperor Leo III the Isaurian as a result of the iconoclastic controversy in the Eastern Empire prepares the way for a long series of revolts, schisms and civil wars that eventually leads to the establishment of the temporal power of the popes.
