The Second Council of Constantinople, held in 680-681, was convened by Byzantine Emperor Constans II to address the controversy surrounding Monothelitism, the doctrine that Christ had only one will and one energy. The council, attended by eastern bishops, condemned Monothelitism as heretical and reaffirmed the Chalcedonian definition of two natures and two wills in Christ.
