Constantinople Patriarch Election #7
Comments
The synkellos (appointed by the Emperor, essentially a Byzantine 'court chaplain') was often the de facto heir. The Photian Schism proves that a Patriarch often had more power than an imperial puppet, but for simplicity sake I agree we should keep things relatively straightforward for now. I propose a slight modification of the above - the court chaplain/synkellos is always a candidate, regardless of their piety/rank. This leaves room for future development of the role of the Patriarch. (For example if the synkellos has low piety, their accession to the throne irritates the clergy, which will then have political repercussions). |

Patriarch Election
As far as I read about the topic, a synode was held in Constantinople by bishops who proposed three names to the Emperor who ultimatly decided who would be Patriarch of Constantinople.
