Gregory IV was Patriarch of Constantinople from April 17, 1623 until June 1 of that same year.
Gregory was Metropolitan of Amaseia. He succeeded Cyril Lucaris after the latter was exiled to Rhodes by his Jesuit-backed enemies.
Gregory was held in general contempt by the Orthodox laity as having conspired with the Jesuits against the exiled Cyril Lucaris. Finally, the Holy Synod removed him and had him banished to Rhodes as well.
