Byzantine captivity

Byzantine captivity

The term Byzantine captivity refers to a series of pontiffs with Eastern, or Byzantine, origins. This period stretches from Pope John V to Pope Zachary (685 till 752) when only one pontiff, Pope Gregory II, was not of "Eastern" extraction. [Noble, T. F. X. "The Republic of St Peter", p. 185.]
