Maximus IV, Patriarch of Constantinople (+ 1502)
Ὁ Maximus with the name of Manasseh, when he was scouting the monastery of Vatopedi in 1486, when a patriarch Simeon I was consecrated by a metaphor of Serres. After about five years of priesthood in that great Macedonian metropolis, in 1491, he entered the Patriarchal throne with the name Maximus. As far as he is known, he is the first priest, who, by assuming the patriarchal throne, exchanges his name. After the Patriarchate in 1497, he resigned from the throne to which he succeeded, patriarching for the second time, the Great Nymph II. Ὁ Maximus retired to the monastery of his repentance where he died in 1502. He bombed “southwards” to the south of his monastery near the bell tower, where the baptized brothers who used patriarchs and metropolitans were baptized.
