St Nerses I, 4th century, was an Armenian bishop and strong reformer,
organising a synod to bring discipline and efficiency to the church.
However, his promulgation of canon legislation from Greece drew him in
to conflict with the royal family. After a spell in exile, St Nerses
fell out with the new king, who, in revenge, invited the bishop to
dine and poisoned him.
