'''Pope Sergius I''' (d. [[September 8]], [[701]]) was [[Pope]] from 687–701. He came from an [[Antioch]]ene [[Syria]]n family which had settled at [[Palermo]] in [[Sicily]], and owed his election as [[Pope Conon]]'s successor to skillful intrigues against Paschalis and Theodorus, the other candidates. He was consecrated on [[December 15]], [[687]].
On [[April 10]], [[689]], he baptised King [[Caedwalla of Wessex]] in [[Rome]]. For rejecting certain [[canon law|canon]]s of the [[Council in Trullo|Trullan (Quinisext) council]] of 692, [[Justinian II]] ordered his arrest and transportation to [[Constantinople]], but the militia of [[Ravenna]] and the Pentapolis forced the imperial ''protospatharius'' to abandon the attempt to carry out his orders. Sergius ordained [[Saint Willibrord]] as bishop of the [[Frisia]]ns, and the ''[[Liber Pontificalis]]'' states he also ordained [[Berhtwald]] as [[Archbishop of Canterbury]]. Sergius died in 701.
