Under the reign of a Byzantine pope, Vitalian (657 - 672), the liturgy and chant of Rome underwent a thorough reformation, the fruits of which were designed for the exclusive use of the papal court.
As befitted the accentual patterns of the free prose texts, the chant melodies were written in a free rhythm using notes of long and short duration in proportion of two to one.
The musical signs therein are not written notes, but rather depictions of the melodic shapes to be traced in air by the hand of the conductor, whose direction reminded the singers (schola cantorum) of the correct notes and indicated both rhythm and ornamentation.

Arriving at Rome, where Vitalian presided at that time over the Apostolic See, and having made known to the aforesaid pope the occasion of his journey, he was not long after snatched away, with almost all his companions that went with him, by a pestilence which happened at that time.
The pope, sending for him, commanded him to accept of the bishopric, and repair into Britain; he answered, that he was unworthy of so great a dignity, but said he could name another, whose learning and age were fitter for the episcopal office.
And having proposed to the pope a certain monk, belonging to a neighbouring monastery of virgins, whose name was Andrew, he was by all that knew him judged worthy of l a bishopric; but bodily infirmity prevented his being advanced to the episcopal station.

 Milton V. Anastos - 10. The arrest of Pope Martin Ι in 653 and the condemnation of Pope Honorius Ι by the Sixth ...
In the course of this dispute the ire of the Byzantine Emperor was kindled against Pope Martin Ι (649-53), whose election was never approved by the Emperor Constans II.
But the Emperor Constans II, who was not mollified by this attempt to exculpate his predecessor and himself, accused Martin of treason, and dispatched the Exarch Olympius in 649 to arrest Martin and conduct him to Constantinople.
Actually, Honorius did declare himself an adherent of the view that there was only one will in Christ, although his apologists contend that his statements on this point are sound if properly interpreted and that his error, if any was committed before the theology on this point had been formally defined.

The epistle of Agatho is a worthy sequel of Leo’s Epistle to the Chalcedonian Council, and equally clear and precise in stating the orthodox view.
Immediately after the close of the council, the emperor published the decision, with an edict enforcing it and anathematizing all heretics from Simon Magus down to Theodore of Pharan, Sergius, Pope Honorius, who in all was their follower and associate, and confirmed the heresy.
