AI overview
I don't have enough context to write an accurate overview of "Eugene II." While the context indicates it relates to a pope, I would need specific information about which Eugene II (there were multiple popes with this name), when he lived, and what made him historically significant. Without access to reliable details, I cannot provide the accurate, fact-based overview you've requested.

Article
Pope Eugene II (Latin: Eugenius II; died 27 August 827) was the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from 6 June 824 to his death on 27 August 827. A native of Rome, he was chosen by nobles to succeed Paschal I as pope despite the clergy and the people favoring Zinzinnus. The influence of the Carolingian Franks on the selection of popes was then firmly established. Pope Eugene convened a council at Rome in 826 to condemn simony and suspend untrained clergy. It was decreed that schools were to be established at cathedral churches and other places to give instruction in sacred and secular literature. His involvement in the Byzantine Iconoclasm controversy was largely inconsequential.
