Dionysius II of Constantinople (Greek:Διονύσιος; died July 1556) wasEcumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1546 to 1556.

Life

[edit]

Dionysius was born inGalata (now part ofIstanbul).^[1] In 1516^[2]^: 186 he was appointedMetropolis of Nicomedia and he was consecrated bishop by PatriarchTheoleptus I of Constantinople.^[1]

Dionysius was designed by PatriarchJeremias I of Constantinople as his successor, and, after Jeremias I's death, he was actually elected on 17 April 1546^[2]^: 39 supported by popular manifestations and against the hopes of theHoly Synod.^[3] During his Patriarchate he was blamed for having raised the appointment fee (peshtesh) due to theOttoman Sultan to three thousandÉcus and for the demolition, ordered by the Sultan, of the great cross on the roof of thePammakaristos Church, at the time the seat of the Patriarchate.^[4]

The more significant event of his patriarchate was the 1546 travel in Italy of the young Metropolitan ofCaesaria,Metrophanes III of Constantinople, who years later would become Patriarch. Dionysius II sent Metrophanes toVenice mainly to raise funds, but Metrophanes went also to Rome and met thePope. In 1548 these news caused a great concern in a part of the Greek population of Constantinople, with riots and an attempt to murder Dionysius II, who was considered as guilty as Metrophanes.^[5] Dionysius II was on the point of being deposed, but no actions were taken against him because he enjoyed the support ofSuleiman the Magnificent.^[6]

Dionysius II reigned until he died. The date of his death is disputed among scholars, and various dates have been proposed, such as 1554 and 1555, but the correct date seems to be July 1556,^[2]^: 46 a conclusion supported byRepublic of Venice documents.^[5] He was buried in the Kamariotissa Monastery on the island ofChalki.^[1]
