Eunomius

Eunomius
(d. 394)
   Bishop and Heretic.
   Eunomius was born in Cappadocia. He became an extreme Arian and was forced to resign as Bishop of Cyzicus. Nevertheless, despite banishment, he continued to expound his view that the Son of God was created, rather than begotten of the Father, and that he was not of the same substance. Similarly, he maintained that the Holy Spirit was created by the Son to sanctify humanity. He was the author of the Apology which elicited a response from St basil the Great and his teachings were also refuted by Gregory of nyssa in Contra Eunomium. Eunomius was banished to Dakora and he died in exile.
