Answer
Constantine V's reign was marked by religious strife, as he attempted to enforce Monothelitism, a doctrine which held that Christ had only one will. This doctrine was opposed by the Monophysites, who believed that Christ had two wills, one divine and one human. The conflict between the two factions was often violent, and resulted in the deaths of many people.
