He was killed in his own tub by his chamberlain with a bucket.

Whoops!

Lol of course you would be here troll

Coming around to uhh

700 AD

The emperors were fine off

Some bloke named Justinian II came up

Dont waste your time

Florida man is a troll

He’s not even disrupting my flow of words

I don’t mind

He doesnt debate and only uses rhetoric if he loses

Bro

I’m not debatin

My mistake

I’m recapping the entire roman history

From empire to 1453

The church?

Not only.

Alas

Justinian II was a well meaning ruler

Ah

Until, 698 when a general named Leontius overthrew him and cut his nose off

Now normally, mutilation means you can’t be emperor

People would be blinded, have their balls or nose cut off

Etc

Oof

F

An anarchy continued until 712 when someone was back

Justinian II was back with a golden prosthetic on his nose and he was pissed

His second reign lasted a short time before he was executed

Credits to Leo III the Khazar for fixing the anarchy

Otherwise the Byzantines would have collapsed earlier

Most of the 8th Century onward was a bit quiet since nothing was happening due to ok emperors

Constantine V The dung named was good; despite his name which was given by hostile historians

Enter Constantine VI?

His own mom had him blinded and exiled.

He died soon after.

She was kicked off the throne by a Financial Administrator named Nikephoros I.

In 811 AD, Nikephoros was on a campaign in Bulgaria
