Stephen I of Constantinople Patriarch of Constantinople [59707]

  General Notes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarch_Stephen_I_of_Constantinople

Stephen was the son of Eudokia Ingerina and, officially, Emperor Basil I . However, at the time when he was conceived, Eudokia was the mistress of Emperor Michael III </wiki/Michael_III>. Consequently, it is possible or even probable that like his older brother Leo VI the Wise <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_III>, Stephen was actually Michael's son.
Castrated by Basil I, Stephen became a monk and was designated for a career in the church since his childhood.
