Life

Neophytus was appointed Metropolitan of Heraclea on 15 May 1689.^[2]: 174 The bishops and the laity^[3] elected him as Patriarch of Constantinople on 20 October 1707.^[2]: 40 He was not confirmed however by the Ottoman Sultan, who reserved the right, as previously the Byzantine Emperor, to confirm the election. Thus, in five days, Neophytus V was deposed and he remained Metropolitan of Heraclea until 1711, the probable year of his death.^[2]: 40
