Nicetas I (or Niketas; Greek: Νικήτας; died 7 February 780) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople[1] from 766 to 780. He was of Slavic ancestry[2] and he was a eunuch.[3]
He was chosen by the Emperor Constantine V as a successor of the Patriarch Constantine II of Constantinople. However, Nicetas was quite unpopular in Constantinople because he was a supporter of iconoclasm.[citation needed] After his death in 780, Nicetas was declared a heretic. He was succeeded by Paul IV of Constantinople.
