In a letter to Theodoros Spoudaios, a cleric at Hagia Sophia, Pope Martin I defends himself against accusations that he collaborated with Muslims as they expanded their sphere of influence. These accusations are placed in the broader context of Christological disputes that plagued relations between Rome and Constantinople in the early period of the Arabic-Islamic expansion.
