John of Gothia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John of Gothia was Greek Orthodox Bishop of Gothia and Metropolitan of Doros, a stronghold of the Crimean Goths, in the mid to late 700s CE.

In 787 John led a revolt against Khazar domination of Gothia. The Khazar garrison and tudun were expelled from Doros, but returned and retook the city in less than a year. John was imprisoned in Itil for a time before being released.
