His successors were fine souls; coming up to a lad named Maurice
Maurice was on the danube frontier in 602 when a Centurion named Phokas overthrew him and executed him
People say phokas was miserably terrible, but I’ll explain later
Phokas had a lot to deal with since the Sassanid emperor named Khosrau declared war on the Byzantine empire, and there were Slavs in the west.
Phokas was quite unpopular, but he ended up doing OK. Sort of better than his successor
Heraclius was the next in line who had him killed in 608.
maurice from king julien
Heraclius held off the Sassanids pretty well for 30 years until trouble brewed in the Levant
Something happened in 632 AD, anyone know what?
Muslim
AllahuAkbarman died
Aka Muhammad
So; Moslems began erupting
The sassanids and byzantines went to fight them
In 636, at the mouth of the Yarmouk river
The Arabs completely smashed an army that outnumbered them
Heraclius was broken, and he died years later. Poor soul, all he worked for was destroyed
His successor did his best to hold off the Arabs and did perfectly fine.
Constans II Pogonatos became unpopular towards the end of his reign in 668.
He was killed in his own tub by his chamberlain with a bucket.
