correct reference to Constantine IV as "the breaded".
The holy and right-believing Emperor '''Constantine the New''' was also known as '''Constantine Pogonatus''' or '''Constantine IV''' (649-685), was the Byzantine emperor from 668-685. He is sometimes incorrectly called Pogonatos, "the Bearded", by confusion with his father. He had been named a co-emperor with his father Constans II in 654, and became emperor when Constans was assassinated in 668. The [[Orthodox Church]] commemorates him on [[September 3]].
