He put an end to attempts by the [[Ravenna]] [[archbishop]]s to get away from the control of the Bishop of Rome. He helped the deal for the Ravenna bishops by putting an end to the tax it had been usual for them to pay when they received the [[pallium]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cfpeople.org/Books/Pope/POPEp80.htm|accessdate=February 18, 2014|title=St. Leo II|publisher=Christ's Faithful People|archive-date=February 6, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060206113041/http://www.cfpeople.org/Books/Pope/POPEp80.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> After [[Pope Agatho|Agatho]] died, Leo was elected pope.
