Abstract
Mark Eugenikos was a leading Byzantine scholar and theologian. He participated in the Council of Ferrara-Florence (1438–1439). He declined to sign the conciliatory agreement between the Greek Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Church. Because of his refusal he became a key figure in the anti-unionist movement and enjoyed high popularity among the Orthodox clergy and people.
