Damianos 11 was the bishop of Ticinum when Alahis 1 rebelled and seized the throne from Cunincpert 1; he is described as a man of God, a holy man and well educated ("Ticinensis ecclesiae episcopus vir Domini Damianus, sanctitate praecipuus, liberalibus artibus sufficienter instructus"); he sent the deacon Thomas 28 to Alahis 1 to give him a blessing, to avert harm to the church: Paul. Diac., Hist. Lang. V 38. Cunincpert 1 was sole king from 678/679 to 688/689. Damianos 11 was bishop of Ticinum at the time of the Council of Constantinople (680/681); he composed a letter, in the name of the archbishop of Milan, Mansuetus (Mansouetos 1), setting out a statement of the faith, which allegedly proved very influential at the Council; it claimed that, as Christ had two natures, of God and of man, so he had two wills or operations ("sic etiam duae credantur esse voluntates sive operationes"): Paul. Diac., Hist. Lang. VI 4. A footnote on this passage in the edition of Waitz, citing Ughellius, claims that Damianos 9 was still a priest when he wrote this letter, before he succeeded Anastasios 5. In 680 the bishop of Ticinum was still Anastasios 5.
