 | | After the fall of Constantinople, the successors of Saint Jonas took the title Metropolitan of Moscow. |
 | | This is why Metropolitans Theognostus, Cyprian, Photius, and Jonas are sometimes called "of Kiev" and sometimes "of Moscow.") Upon arriving in Constantinople to reeive consecration, however, Jonas learned that Isidore had been appointed to the see by the Ecumenical Patrarch Joseph, without the knowledge of the Muscovite prince and clergy. |
 | | In 1438, at the Council of Florence, both Patriarch Joseph and Metropolitan Isidore became Uniates; in 1441, therefore, Isidore was driven from his see, and in 1449 (according to some, 1448), Saint Jonas was made Metropolitan by the Russian bishops. |
