theophylactus of constantinople

Theophylactus Lecapenus (917 - 956), son of Byzantine Emperor Romanus I, was installed as the Patriarch of Constantinople from 933 to 956. Romanus planned to make his son Patriarch as soon as Nicholas Mysticus died in 925, but two minor patriarchs and a two-year vacancy passed before Theophylactus was old enough (yet still only 16 years old). Theophylactus was more interested in horses than religion, but Pope John XI was convinced to approve him by Romanus's flattery. In 946 Theophylactus plotted against Constantine VII, who had recently succeeded Romanus, but Constantine ignored him. Theophylactus died after falling from a horse in 956.
