Life

[edit]

Tryphon was amonk inConstantinople. PatriarchStephen II of Constantinople died on 19 July 928. Tryphon was raised to the post of the Patriarch on 14 December 928 byByzantine Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos on condition that he would resign in favor of the Emperor's sonTheophylact Lekapenos when the boy comes of age.^[1]^[2]

Theophylact turned 16 in 931 and Roman asked Patriarch Tryphon to step down as promised so Theophylakt could assume the Patriarchate. Tryphon refused to hand over the throne to a boy and remained in office. Romanos was infuriated and wanted to arrest him and execute him but Tryphon was very much loved by the people for his virtues.^[1]

Then the Emperor's advisors came up with a better plan to remove him from office without causing a rebellion. During a meeting with other bishops,bishop Basil accused Tryphon of being illiterate, and the Patriarch protested that he was not. Bishop Basil had an Imperial agent ask him to prove that by signing his name on a blank paper, Tryphon signed the blank paper and then Bishop Basil sent the paper to the Palace where the Imperial Clerks wrote the document of his resignation on the blank paper with Tryphon's signature.

When he found out that he was deceived it was too late, Theophylact had been already proclaimed Patriarch and Tryphon was forced to retire to monastery where he died in 933.^[1]

Tryphon is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church. His feast day is 19 April [O.S. 2 May].^[1]
