George of Naples

George (died 739) was the duke of Naples for a decade beginning in 729.

George succeeded Theodore I and continued his prudent policy of balancing between the Byzantine Empire and the papacy, at that time embroiled in a conflict over the iconoclastic controversy. He was succeeded by Gregory I.

An ancient monument, dedicated to George, can be found to this day at Terracina.

gollark: Is the market actually very widely used?
gollark: There's one from Egg Drop Soup; I prefer it, because it also tells whether you're locked or not.
gollark: I can never figure out whether I just need to hunt more, pick different biomes or refresh at different times.
