Одразот на верската идеологија на Михаил VIII Палеолог врз Охридската архиепископија

Abstract

The participation of representatives of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus at the Council of Lyon in 1274. was a diplomatic triumph for the emperor. His acceptance of all the demands of the Pontifical throne prevented the organization of a crusade of the Western countries against the still unstable restored empire. But the ecclesiastical and theological consequences of the political goals of the emperor’s religious ideology shook the empire for almost a decade. In this new ecclesiastical-political situation in the already united Byzantine Empire, the question arises as to the position of the Ohrid Archbishopric regarding the religious ideology and policy of Michael VIII towards Western Christianity and how these processes reflected on the Ohrid throne.
