Michael III (Greek: Μιχαήλ Γ') known as "Ivrogne" (born January 19, 840 and died on September 23, 867) is a Byzantine emperor from 842 to 867.

Regency of Theodora and restoration of the cult of images (842-856)[edit]
He succeeded his father Emperor Theophilus at the age of two on January 20, 842. As regent, his mother Theodora initially exercised the reality of power with the help of his brother the patrice Bardas and the logothet of the Theoctist Drome, and imposed the definitive restoration of the cult of images, which thus ended the iconoclastic crisis on March 11, 843.

Advised by Theoctist, Theodora, however, triggers a terrible persecution against the Paulicians, who are massacred and their property confiscated; the survivors take refuge with the Emir of Malatya, Omar al-Aqta.

On the other hand, the empress greatly neglects the education of her son who quickly becomes a debauched person. Bardas then incited Michael III, who was 15 years old, to kill Theoctist the Logothete on November 20, 855, and then four months later, in March 856, to dismiss Theodora, who had fallen from his Augusta title. The following year, accused of intrigue, she was locked up in a monastery.

Personal reign under the influence of Bardas and then Basil (856-867)[edit]

Michael III.
Unable to govern, Michael III left the government of business to his uncle Bardas, who proved quite effective: under his reign, and under the influence of Patriarch of Constantinople Photios, Saints Cyril and Methodius began the evangelization of Slavic peoples from 863; in 864 the Tsar of Bulgaria Boris I also converted to Christianity; militarily Michael

As for the Arab expansion in Asia Minor, it is contained in a victory at the Battle of Poson of another maternal uncle of the emperor, General Petronas (863), and compensates for the defeat of the Byzantine army led by Michael III himself (860). On the other hand, Crete is not resumed.

The new favorite, Basil the Macedonian, pushed the emperor to get rid of his uncle Bardas in 866. This crime marks the end of the Amorian dynasty: Michael III makes his favorite the co-emperor.

Quickly tired of Michael III'S behavior and unable to control him, Basil had him murdered on September 23, 867 by his cousin Asylaion and became the only emperor under the name of Basil I, thus putting an end to Amorian ladynasty in favor of the Macedonian dynasty. Michael is buried in the monastery of Chrysopolis (Üsküdar).

Union and posterity
In 855, Emperor Michael III had been forced by his mother to marry Eudocie Décapolitissa, whom he hated and from whom he had no children, and had Eudocie Ingérina as his mistress. To legitimize the children he would have with his mistress, he married her to Basil the Macedonian, his favorite.Leo VI the Wise and his brother Stephen I of Constantinople were thus born of Michael III and Eudicie Ingérina. It is not certain whether he is the son of Basil I or Michael III. His father's identity is the subject of many scholarly discussions and has not been formally decided. For the official historiographers of the Macedonian dynasty, Leo VI the Wise and Stephen I of Constantinople are the sons of his predecessor Basil I and his second wife Eudocius Ingérina. However, the majority of contemporary columnists tell a different story.

"After the death of Theophilus son of Michael, king of the Rums [Roman emperor], reigned his son Michael, son of Theophilus son of Michael. He had a general named Basil to whom he had given the first rank. One day, King Michael went out for a walk on the island opposite Constantinople... General Basil attacked and killed him... on the island and seized power. Basil was not of the royal family, he was of Slavic origin. He was told, "Why did you find it lawful to kill the king? - "Michel," he replied, "loved a woman whom he ordered me to marry, but without approaching her, so that she was my wife by name only and he lived with her. This is because he feared that his legitimate wife would learn this and that he was not allowed to marry a woman other than his wife. I accepted, then regretted and feared God. So, I considered that I was allowed to kill the king. ". Basil remained king of the Rums. "
However, Leon and Alexander's youth is disturbed by the feelings of antipathy and disgust that their official father feels towards them. This could help accredit the fact that Basil I is not their biological father.

Constantine VII Flavius Porphyrogenitus (Byzantine Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος Ζ΄ Φλάβιος Πορφυρογέννητος, romanized: Kōnstantinos VII Flāvios Porphyrogennētos; 17/18 May 905 – 9 November 959) was the fourth Emperor of the Macedonian dynasty of the Byzantine Empire, reigning from 6 June 913 to 9 November 959. He was the son of Emperor Leo VI and his fourth wife, Zoe Karbonopsina, and the nephew of his predecessor Emperor Alexander.

Most of his reign was dominated by co-regents: from 913 until 919 he was under the regency of his mother, while from 920 until 945 he shared the throne with Romanos Lekapenos, whose daughter Helena he married, and his sons. Constantine VII is best known for the Geoponika (τά γεοπονικά), an important agronomic treatise compiled during his reign, and his four books, De Administrando Imperio (bearing in Greek the heading Πρὸς τὸν ἴδιον υἱὸν Ῥωμανόν),[2] De Ceremoniis (Περὶ τῆς Βασιλείου Τάξεως), De Thematibus (Περὶ θεμάτων Άνατολῆς καὶ Δύσεως), and Vita Basilii (Βίος Βασιλείου).[3][4]

The epithet porphyrogenitus alludes to the Purple chamber of the imperial palace, decorated with porphyry, where legitimate children of reigning emperors were normally born. Constantine was also born in this room, although his mother Zoe had not been married to Leo at that time. Nevertheless, the epithet allowed him to underline his position as the legitimate son, as opposed to all others, who claimed the throne during his lifetime. Sons born to a reigning Emperor held precedence in the Eastern Roman line of succession over elder sons not born "in the purple".
