Theodore II Eirenikos (), also known as Theodore Kopas or Koupas (Κωπάς/Κουπάς),〔Vougiouklaki (2003), (Chapter 1 )〕 was a high-ranking Byzantine official and chief minister during most of the reign of the Byzantine emperor Alexios III Angelos (r. 1195–1203). After the fall of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade, he fled to the Empire of Nicaea, where he became a monk and served as Patriarch of Constantinople in exile in 1214–1216. ==Political career== An intelligent, well-spoken and educated man, he rose to power following the disgrace and exile of Alexios' hitherto favourite official, Constantine Mesopotamites, in autumn 1197. Eirenikos succeeded Mesopotamites in his confidential and influential palace post of ''epi tou kanikleiou'' (secretary of the imperial inkpot), and as chief minister. He also held the senior court rank of ''pansebastos sebastos''.〔〔Brand (1968), pp. 143, 146–147〕 According to the account of the contemporary historian Niketas Choniates, Eirenikos feared that he would share Mesopotamites' fate, and therefore exercised his power with great restraint. He was anxious not to displease the hereditary aristocracy that dominated the imperial court and that had undermined Mesopotamites' position. To that effect he also neglected to undertake any of the reforms that the Empire desperately needed.〔Brand (1968), p. 147〕
