Felix of Ravenna
Felix (Felice) (died 724) was an archbishop of Ravenna of the eighth century, in office 709 to his death.
He was consecrated by Pope Constantine,[1] but soon afterwards asserted his independence from Rome. When Ravenna was captured by the forces of Justinian II, Felix was taken to Constantinople, tried and blinded, and sent into exile.[2][3][4] Justinian was deposed in 711, and Felix returned from Pontus[5] to Ravenna.[6]
He collected 176 sermons of his predecessor Peter Chrysologus.[7]
