Image of John VI

John VI John VI, who was of Greek descent, was elected pope in 701. He put down a rebellion against Theophylactus, the imperial exarch, and ransomed the Campanian prisoners of Duke Gisulfo of Benevento after a war between the two states. When, in 704, Bishop Wilfrid of York appealed to Rome for the third time with the claim that he had been unlawfully deposed from his see, John recommended that he take the matter up with the Archbishop of Canterbury. John died in the following year.
