Reign of Michael III (1 gen 842 anni – 31 dic 867 anni)
Descrizione:
Michael III (839 or 840 – 23/24 September, 867) was Byzantine Emperor from 842 to 867. Michael III was the third and traditionally last member of the Amorian (or Phrygian) dynasty. He was given the disparaging epithet the Drunkard (ὁ Μέθυσος) by the hostile historians of the succeeding Macedonian dynasty, but modern historical research has rehabilitated his reputation to some extent, demonstrating the vital role his reign played in the resurgence of Byzantine power in the 9th century.Aggiunto al nastro di tempo:
