  Roman Emperors - DIR Leo III
Leo was the son and heir of the committed iconoclast emperor Constantine V, who married three times: by his first wife, Irene the Khazar,[[1]] he had one son, Leo, in January 750; his second marriage was childless; and his third marriage, to Eudocia, produced five sons and a daughter.
Leo easily put down the conspiracy, which included a number of persons in the imperial service, and showed leniency to those involved by having them scourged and tonsured and banishing them to the Cherson and the Klimata under guard.
Prior to this relationship between Leo and Irene appear to have been good: at least, in 776/7 he married her cousin to Telerig, the Bulgarian ruler, who had taken refuge in Constantinople and was made a patrician and baptised in the Orthodox religion.

Leo died on the 17th of July, 855, and was interred at the Vatican.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Irene (Wife of Leo IV)
Irene was born in Athens, presumably between 750 and 755 (the actual date is unknown, but she can hardly have been older than her husband, Leo IV, who was born in January 750)[[1]] In 769 the iconoclast emperor Constantine V Copronymus (the 'dung-named') wanted a bride for his eldest son and heir Leo IV.
She was clearly not averse to displaying her imperial status to her subjects: on the gold coins of her sole reign she is depicted in a robe embroidered like the consular dress of the emperors, holding a cruciform sceptre and globus cruciger.
The conspirators tricked the guards at the Chalke gate of the Great Palace into believing that Aetius was forcing the empress to proclaim his brother Leo as emperor and that she had therefore sent for Nicephorus to proclaim him emperor instead to forestall Aetius's plan; the guards themselves willingly joined in the ceremony.

 (141) Constantine V and Leo IV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Constantine had been co-emperor with his father Leo III until he was made sole emperor upon Leo's death in A.D. Ten years later he made his own son, Leo IV, co-emperor.
The heads are almost identical, with the exception of Leo IV's clean-shaven face, and the conventions of rank obscure even their most well-known features; over the objections of the Church, Constantine wore no beard, but he is depicted with a beard on the coin to indicate his seniority.
Constantine's father, Leo III, had forbidden the veneration of icons, which had become widespread in the East, and this began an internal struggle between the iconoclasts, or destroyers of icons, and the iconodules, or worshippers of icons, which lasted for over a century.

 Leo, popes --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
Leo was perhaps murdered, either by Christopher or his successor, Pope Sergius III.
Only three popes have been awarded the title “the Great,” Nicholas I, Gregory I, and Leo I. Leo's greatness has frequently been depicted by artists, writers, and historians in his memorable confrontation with Attila and the Huns in which the pope was able to persuade these barbarians not to attack Rome (see Attila; Huns).
The reign of Leo IX is memorable for two reasons: the extensive reforms he implemented within the church and his forceful support of papal supremacy, which led to a formal break with the Eastern Orthodox church in 1054.
