This article needs some factual changes about the life of Konstantine Loukaris. Copying from British and American Online Library is not good enough. HE WAS BORN THE 13TH OF NOVEMBER 1570 in Candia, Crete. KILLED SEPTEMBER 1638.

HE WAS THE NEPHEW OF MELETIOS PEGAS, PATRIARCH OF ALEXANDRIA. HE BECAME PATRIARCH OF ALEXANDRIA REPLACING HIS UNCLE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTS MISSING AND SOME OF THE INFORMATION IS JUST SIMPLY WRONG.

The birth day of November 13 was added and the year of death has been changed to 1638 as both were found in the sources quoted.

At least two of the sources cited have the year of birth as 1572 and another is clear about the date of death being June 27, 1638.

Cyril Lucaris was a controversial figure and of course his views would be disputed by those who disagree with them however, I find nothing to change the substance of the original article which btw is also confirmed by Greek sources (see bio by Hadjiantoniou). The dissenting opinion is also listed as a source for those who want to see the other side of the argument --Irlandos 03:53, February 16, 2009 (EST)
