	Constantine V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constantine was opposed by his father's chamberlain Artabasdus, who attacked his army while they were on campaign against the Arabs in Anatolia.
		Artabasdus declared that Constantine had been killed in battle and seized power in Constantinople.
		By the end of 743 he had retaken the city and had Artabasdus blinded.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Anna (wife of Artabasdus)
		Artabasdus (742-743 A.D.) and Anna (wife of Artabasdus)
		Anna, daughter of Leo III, was born prior to her father's accession and, according to Theophanes, it was in 715 that she was promised in marriage to the Armenian Artabasdus, general of the Armeniac theme, following Theodosius III's deposition of Anastasius II.
		The marriage took place some time after Leo became emperor, in March 717, and Artabasdus was given the rank of curopalates or major-domo of the palace, a high honorary title, and made count (comes) of the Opsikion theme.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Constantine V Copronymus
		It seems more likely that this was a deliberate coup launched by a strong candidate (as Nikephoros 64 relates); Artabasdus had a distinguished career, military backing, and imperial credentials through his wife Anna (the daughter of Leo III and the sister of Constantine V), by whom he already had two sons, Niketas and Nikephoros.
		Artabasdus' usurpation (which lasted for over two years) was strengthened by his grip on Constantinople and his recognition by the patriarch Anastasios; Constantine had to seek refuge in Amorion, though he secured the support of the Anatolikon and Thrakesion armies, the latter being commanded by Sisinnios, his cousin (Theophanes AM 6235).
		Artabasdus and his sons were blinded, but the patriarch Anastasios was allowed to retain his position after being humiliated.

	Artabasdus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artabasdus was a chamberlain and son-in-law of the Byzantine emperor Leo III the Isaurian and briefly seized power in Constantinople soon after the accession of Leo's son, Constantine V Copronymus, in 741.
		Constantine however took refuge in the Isaurian mountains whence his dynasty originated, and with support of the Asian part of the Byzantine army, who were iconoclasts to a man, had Artabasdus defeated and executed in 743.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Iconoclasm
		As soon as Leo III was dead, Artabasdus (who had married Leo's daughter) seized the opportunity and took advantage of the unpopularity of the Iconoclast Government to raise a rebellion.
		Declaring himself the protector of the holy icons he took possession of the capital, had himself crowned emperor by the pliant patriarch Anastasius and immediately restored the images.
		Anastasius, who had been intruded in the place of Germanus as the Iconoclast candidate, now veered round in the usual Byzantine way, helped the restoration of the images and excommunicated Constantine V as a heretic and denier of Christ.

	Byzantine Empire 610-1095 by Sanderson Beck
		As commander of this area and supported by those who opposed iconoclasm, he now attacked and defeated Leo's army while it was passing through his territory to fight the Muslims.
		Artabasdus negotiated with the regent Constantine left in Constantinople and was crowned there by Patriarch Anastasius, who also changed sides.
		Artabasdus made his older son Nicephorus Co-emperor and his younger son Nicetas army commander, sending him to Armeniakon.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Zachary
		However, in 742 Constantine's brother-in-law Artabasdus raised a revolt against the new emperor and established himself in Constantinople; thus when the papal envoys reached Constantinople they found Artabasdus the ruler there.
		As late as 743 the papal letters were dated from the year of the reign of Constantine V; in 744, however, they are dated form the year of the reign of Artabasdus.
		Still the papal envoys do not seem to have come into close relations with the usurper at Constantinople, although the latter re-established the worship of images.

		Would that be perchance, Mauricius Emperor until deposed by Centurion Phocas in AD 602?
		Artabasdus was I think, one of the Ancient Persian Generals.
		Never heard of them...Highly unlikely to have had such names.
