Todi ,Umbria in the place now named after him Pian S. Martino, waspope from 649 to 655, succeeding Theodore I in June or July 649.He had previously acted as papal "
apocrisiarius " or legate atConstantinople , and was held in high repute for learning and virtue. Almost his first official act was to summon theFirst Lateran Synod to deal with the Monothelites, whom the Church considered heretical. It met in the church of St. John Lateran, was attended by one hundred and five bishops (chiefly fromItaly ,Sicily , andSardinia , with a few fromAfrica and other quarters), held five sessions or "secretarii" fromOctober 5 toOctober 31 , 649, and in twenty canons condemned the Monothelites, its authors, and the writings by which it had been promulgated. In this condemnation were included, not only the "Ecthesis" or exposition of faith of the patriarch Sergius for which the emperorHeraclius had stood sponsor, but also the "typus" of Paul, the successor of Sergius, which had the support of the reigning emperor (Constans II ). Martin was very energetic in publishing the decrees of his Lateran synod in anencyclical , and Constans replied by enjoining his exarch or governor in Italy to arrest the pope, should he persist in this line of conduct, and send him as a prisoner to Constantinople.These orders were found impossible to carry out for a considerable space of time, but at last Martin was arrested in the Lateran on
June 15 ,653 , along withMaximus the Confessor . He was hurried out of Rome and conveyed first to Naxos and subsequently to Constantinople bySeptember 17 ,654 . After suffering an exhausting imprisonment and many alleged public indignities, he was ultimately banished toCherson in theCrimea , where he arrived onMarch 26 , 655, and died onSeptember 1 of that year.References
