Pope Zachary (Latin: Zacharias; 679 – 22 March 752) was Pope from 10 December 741 to his death in 752. A Greek from Santa Severina Calabria he was the last pope of the Byzantine Papacy. Most probably he was a deacon of the Roman Church and as such signed the decrees of the Roman council of 732 and was on intimate terms with Gregory III whom he succeeded on 5 December 741.
