Theodore II (exarch)

Theodore II (exarch)

Theodore II was Exarch of Ravenna (677-687).

Theodore succeeded Gregory in 677. He was a pious man, and he patronized the Archbishop of Ravenna during his reign. The historian Andreas Agnellus describes his gifts to the churches of St. Theodore the deacon and St. Mary ad Blachernas and records that the Exarch was buried with his wife in the second monastery. [Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis "The Book of Pontiffs of the Church of Ravenna" (Washington: Catholic University of America Press, 2004), p. 238] He was, in turn, followed by John II Platinus in 687.
