Who they were
Paul IV of Constantinople, known as Paul the New (Greek: Παῦλος; died December 784), was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 780 to 784. He had once opposed the veneration of icons but urged the calling of an ecumenical council to address the iconoclast controversy. Later, he resigned and retired to a monastery due to old age and illness. He was succeeded by Tarasios of Constantinople, who was a lay administrator at the time.
