When was the maronite church started?

In 4th Century northern Syria outside of Aleppo, there was a monk who practiced asceticism and mysticism called Maroun (from which the name of the Maronites is derived, since in Arabic, Marouni is a follower of Maroun). He lived in hermitage (or seclusion) yet many people would seek him out for spiritual direction. After his death, a monastery called Beith Maroun (The House of Maroun) was created by his followers in his memory. After a series of clashes with monophysites after the Council of Chalcedon and other noted major heresies, the Maronites fled from persecution to Lebanon, where the majority reside today. The Maronite Church is considered a primarily Syriac-influenced church, although it suffers heavily from latinizations and neo-latinizations.
