Michel Ier Cérulaire

Michel Ier Cérulaire (in Greek: Μιχαήλ Α' Κηρουλάριος ; in Latin: Michael I Cerularius ), born with Constantinople towards 1000 - died the January 21st 1059), was patriarch of Constantinople of the March 25th 1043 with the November 2nd 1058.

It is one of the actors of the rupture between the Churches of Constantinople and Rome in 1054 (Great Schism of the East). The pope Leon IX excommunicated it.

In 1056, it refuses to be combined with Théodose, cousin of the emperor Constantin IX Monomaque in his fight to be able it against Michel VI. It is however known that he was opposed to the faction with the capacity with Constantinople. It is thus sent in exile, the emperor suspecting it of wanting to take its place. Once died, one makes return his body to Constantinople in order to bury it in large pump. Michel Psellos, one of its sharper opponents, writes a funeral Oraison and a Panégyrique. Cérulaire was extraordinarily popular and the capacity in place wanted to benefit from the enthusiasm of the people in this connection. His/her niece, Eudoxie Makrembolitissa, woman of the emperor Constantin X, will make of him the carry-standard of the independence of the orthodoxe Église compared to that of Rome after the schism of 1054.
