Honorius I was the bishop of Rome from 625 until his death in 638. Born into a wealthy aristocratic family in Campania, he was elected to the papacy following the death of Boniface V. His reign was marked by efforts to spread Christianity among the Anglo-Saxons, including sending missionaries to the West Saxons and providing the pallium to archbishops in Canterbury and York. He is most famously remembered for his involvement in theological debates concerning the nature of Christ's will and energy.
