Pope Cyril II of Alexandria is the67th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.

There had been a leadership dispute upon the selection of Cyril II as patriarch of Alexandria. A council of forty-seven bishops was assembled to depose him, supported by a Muslim overseer of an orchard called Yaseeb. According to his hagiography, the Pope told the overseer 'If the Governor has authority, Christ has authority over the heaven and earth', then dismounted his horse and made amatonia before him. Because of the Pope's words, it is claimed, the governor became enraged with the overseer, and beheaded him at the same place and at the same time as the matonia had been performed. This supposedly prevented a split in the church, and Cyril II and the dissenting bishops were reconciled.^[1]

Although the patriarchate of Alexandria always resided in the city ofAlexandria since its foundation byMark the Evangelist in the first century, it became increasingly inconvenient for the popes of Alexandria to be far from th enewly founded capital inCairo. Cyril II moved the seat of the patriarchate to theHanging Church inCairo in the eleventh century.^[2]

Patriarch Cyril attempted to ordain a properly consecratedbishop to be the newAbuna of theEthiopian Orthodox Church, butBadr al-Jamali, theVizier ofCaliph Al-Mustansir, forced him to ordain insteadAbuna Sawiros. Although at first warmly welcomed when he reachedEthiopia, the Caliph's candidate began to openly favorIslam in that Christian country by building sevenmosques, ostensibly for the use of Muslim traders. This led to a general uproar in Ethiopia. Abuna Sawiros justified his acts by saying a refusal to build these mosques would result in a persecution inEgypt. Nevertheless, the Abuna was imprisoned, the seven mosques destroyed, and restrictions placed on the Muslim traders. Reciprocal acts followed in Egypt, and a rupture in the relations between the two countries.^[3]

Pope Cyril II departed on12 Paoni 808 A.M. (6 June 1092 A.D.).
