Jeremias II of Constantinople

Jeremias II Tranos (c. 1530, Anchialos - 1595, Constantinople), was Patriarch of Constantinople several times between 1572 and 1595.

Jeremias, from the influential Tranos family, was elected in 1572 as patriarch for the first time. He was deposed in 1579, because the Ottoman rulers had set limits on the maximum duration of a patriarch's rule, but he was re-elected the next year, and again in 1585.
