Michael IV. Auto Rianos

Michael IV. Autoreianos ( Middle Greek Μιχαήλ Δ΄ Ἀυτωρειανός ; † around 1213) was the first patriarch of Constantinople in exile in Nikaia (1207 / 08-1212 / 14).

Life

Michael was formed and influenced by Eustathios of Thessalonica . He was megas sakellarios in the administration of the Patriarch of Constantinople. His election as Bishop of Amastris was prevented by David Komnenos .

In 1207 or 1208 he became Patriarch of Constantinople in Nikaia, thereby challenging the Latin patriarchs appointed by the Crusaders after the conquest of Constantinople in 1204 for the continuation of the patriarchate of Constantinople.

His predecessor John X had refused to carry out the coronation of Theodor as the first Byzantine emperor in exile in Nikaia. Michael crowned Theodor in 1208. He died between 1212 and 1214.
