When Constantine X Doukas (r. 1059-1067 CE) died, his sons were still young. The older son, Michael VII (r. 1071-1078 CE), was 19 and could have ruled in his own right. However, Michael seemed to have had little interest in ruling and let his mother, Constantine's widow Eudokia Makrembolitissa, be the de facto ruler of the Byzantine Empire. On Cons...
Constantine X's reign had left the eastern frontier in a disastrous state. No major Byzantine army had been deployed there for over a decade, and the steady incursions of the Seljuk Turks highlighted Byzantine feebleness. Isaac I Komnenos(r. 1057-1059 CE) might have been able to right the ship when the first signs of decline were appearing, but und...
While Romanos was out campaigning, Eudokia had born him one son, Leo, and another, Nikephoros, would come in the next year. This posed obvious problems to the Doukai. Although Nikephoros II had married Basil II and Constantine VIII's mother Theophano, she did not bear him any children so there was no direct threat to Basil and Constantine eventuall...
In 1070 CE, Romanos had several forts constructed in Anatolia to better fortify the Byzantine Empire's borders. Following up on his success in Syria and at least dissuading Turks from raiding deep into the interior of Anatolia, Romanos decided it was time to defeat the Turks where they had first invaded his empire, in Armenia. Romanos gathered an a...
In the aftermath of Manzikert, it was unclear to the Byzantines whether Romanos was dead or alive. Alp Arslan asked Romanos what he would do to him if their positions were reversed. Alp Arslan respected Romanos' candor when he said he would have had him cruelly killed. Romanos concluded a treaty with Alp Arslan, suing for peace in exchange for cedi...
Attaleiates described Romanos as a quintessential tragic hero. His reign was a failure not because of Romanos himself, but because of circumstances. He had tried his best and did a relatively good job up until Andronikos' betrayal at Manzikert. Many other emperors had been deposed, but perhaps none elicited sorrow like Romanos. The consequences of ...
Constantine Diogenes ( Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Διογένης; died 1073) was one of the sons of Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes (reigned 1068–1071). He was a son of Romanos with his first wife Anne, a daughter of Alusian, and hence excluded from the line of succession when his father married the empress-dowager Eudokia ...
