Manuel II of Constantinople (Greek:Μανουήλ; died 3 November 1254) was theEcumenical Patriarch of Constantinople fromc. 1243 to 1254. Because of the Latin occupation of Constantinople (1204–1261), Manuel II resided at the temporary Byzantine capital inNicaea. He worked in close collaboration with EmperorJohn III Doukas Vatatzes, particularly in negotiations concerning possible union with theLatin Church. In 1249, Manuel II was likely involved with the delegation fromPope Innocent IV and led by theFranciscan friar John of Parma, which arrived at the temporary Patriarchal seat inNymphaeum in 1249 and until 1250, there to debate theFilioque against the Orthodox spokesmanNikephoros Blemmydes. The delegation from the Pope returned to him with a note from the Patriarch which exhorted unity underChrist as the only head of the Church, avoiding the term"Schism" and referring only to the "separation" of the Churches.^[1] In 1253, the Emperor and Manuel II sent envoys to Pope Innocent IV to more formally discuss ecclesiastical union, renewing these negotiations. These were conducted inPerugia, and appear to have achieved some entente, with Innocent acknowledging the sincerity of the Orthodox Church's desire for union. Despite continued disagreement about the Filioque clause in theNicene Creed, negotiations continued, which resulted in an initial offer of formal recognition of the Greek Patriarchate. No further progress was made after 1254, however, as the architects of the entente – Pope Innovent IV, Emperor John III Doukas Vatatzes, and the Patriarch Manuel II – all died within a few months of each other, and the impetus was lost.^[2]

In 1247–1248 he wrote to theArmenian Kingdom of Cilicia Hethum I and the Catholicos regarding their relations with the Byzantine Church, and in July 1250 he composed a series of responses to canonical questions. In 1253–1254 he received solemn assurance, under pain of censure, from the regentMichael VIII Palaiologos, that he would not intrigue against the Emperor of Nicaea,Theodore II Laskaris (1254–1258); and early in 1254, he addressed a letter to the emperor instructing him on his duties.

Manuel held, before his patriarchate, the position ofprotopapas among the ecclesiastics of the Byzantine court, then fixed atNicaea. Noted as a man of piety and holiness, "though married", Akropolites comments sourly that he was a man "who had no experience of letters, nor was able to unravel the meaning of what he read".^[3] The three Sententice Synodales of the patriarch Manuel II given in the Jus Graeco-Romanum undoubtedly belong to this patriarch.^[4]

Manuel II's death is distinctly fixed as having occurred two months before that of EmperorJohn III Doukas Vatatzes, on 30 October 1255. The duration of his patriarchate is fixed byNikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos, at eleven years.George Akropolites and Xanthopoulos both suggest the throne was vacant "for some years" before Manuel was appointed (1240–1243).^[5] It is therefore relatively certain Manuel II died in office that year, on 3 November 1254.
