 Iconoclasm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Germanus I of Constantinople, the iconodule Patriarch of Constantinople, either resigned or was deposed following the ban; letters Germanus wrote at the time say little of theology.
Leo died in 740, but his ban on icons was dogmatically confirmed under his son Constantine V (741-775) by the Seventh Ecumenical Council of Constantinople and Hieria in 754 ("the Iconoclast Council") in which some 340 bishops participated.
An example is the Hagia Sophia, Church of the Holy Wisdom, in Istanbul, formerly Constantinople which was converted into a mosque in 1453, when its mosaics were covered with plaster.

In the mid 670s the Arabs had laid siege to Constantinople by sea from corsair bases set up in the Sea of Marmara; but they had been defeated by "Greek Fire", an inflammable oil that could be jetted at enemy ships.
Constantinople was besieged and surrounded and it seemed only a matter of time before it would be taken and the Byzantine Empire would become a province of the Caliphate.
In 716, with Constantinople surrounded and ready to capitulate, Khan Tervel came to its aid and together Bulgar and Byzantine troops defeated the Arabs 2 years later, holding up the invasion from the east.

Now so thoroughly did the Empress hate Germanus, and so conspicuously, that no one dared to become a relative of his, though he was the nephew of the Emperor.
Consequently, when John, sent by Belisarius, arrived in Constantinople, Germanus was forced to approach him as a possible son-in-law, though John was not at all worthy in station of such an alliance.
But when they had come to an agreement, they bound each other by most solemn oaths to complete the alliance by all means in their power; and this was necessary because neither had any confidence in the good faith of the other.

But the Eastern patriarchs were not represented, the people of Constantinople abhorred the union with Rome, and the death of the despotic Michael Palaeologus (1282) was also the death of the Latin party, and the formal revocation of the act of submission to the pope.
The document of reunion was signed by the pope, the emperor, many archbishops and bishops, the representatives of all the Eastern patriarchs except that of Constantinople, who had previously died at Florence, but had left as his last sentence a disputed submission to the catholic and apostolic church of old Rome.
The capture of Constantinople by the Mohammedan Turks (1453) and the overthrow of the Byzantine empire put an end to all political schemes of reunion, but opened the way for papal propagandism in the East.

Almost at the same time, Rabanus Maurus gives the derivation of "casula" quoted above from Isidore of Seville, and goes on to say that it is "the last of all the vestments, which covers and preserves all the rest." Later authors of the middle age copy their predecessors; and even Innocent III.
