John XI Bekkos: Patriarch of Constantinople (1275/6-1282), at first an opponent of the Union of the Churches but later the leader of the Unionist party. As patriarch he tried to implement the Union of Lyons, arousing serious reaction from both clerics and the laity. He supported the emperor Michael VIII, but after the emperor's death he was deposed and was exiled when Andronikos II restored Orthodoxy in 1282. In 1285 he was accused of heresy and condemned by the anti-Unionists at the Council of Blachernai.
