	Leo I (emperor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Imperator Caesar Flavius Valerius Leo Augustus or Leo I of the Byzantine Empire (401- 474, reigned 457- 474), sometimes known as Leo the Thracian, was the last of a series of emperors placed on the throne by Aspar, the Alan serving as commander-in-chief of the army.
		Leo died of dysentery at the age of 73 on January 18, 474.
		He attempted to build on this political achievement with an expedition against the Vandals in 468, which was defeated due to the treachery and incompetence of Leo's brother-in-law Basiliscus.

	Byzantium: Timeline
		The empire repulses the new Norman kingdom of South Italy, which has launched a devastating invasion of the Byzantine Empire from the west; the Norman goal was to destroy Byzantium and make Constantinople the capital of the Norman state.
		The Fourth Crusade leads to a Latin occupation of Constantinople, with the Byzantine Empire reduced to several contending states in outlying regions of its territories; as a result, for much of the next fifty years, vast amounts of artistic booty are sent to western Europe from the city and the lands of Frankish Greece.
		Alexius I Komnenos becomes emperor, establishing the Komnenos dynasty; the following year, to gain the support of the Venetian navy against the Normans in South Italy, he grants Venice legal, political, and economic concessions, eventually leading to Venetian commercial and economic domination in much of the Byzantine Empire.

	Byzantine Empire. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The reigns (395–527) of Arcadius, Theodosius II, Marcian, Leo I, Leo II, Zeno, Anastasius I, and Justin I were marked by the invasions of the Visigoths under Alaric I, of the Huns of Attila, and of the Avars, the Slavs, the Bulgars (see Bulgaria), and the Persians.
		The reconstructed empire was soon attacked from all sides, notably by Charles I of Naples, by Venice, by the Ottoman Turks, by the new kingdoms of Serbia and Bulgaria, and by Catalonian adventurers under Roger de Flor.
		The collapse of the empire opened the way for the vast expansion of the Ottoman Empire to Vienna itself and also enabled Ivan III of Russia, son-in-law of Constantine XI, to claim a theoretical succession to the imperial title.

	The Byzantines
		In the latter decades of the fifth century, the Byzantine Emperor declared himself to be a Monophysite—this estranged the Byzantines from the Roman Pope.
		The greatest of Byzantine writers, in fact, was the historian Anna Comnena, the daughter of the emperor Alexius.
		The Muslims very quickly conquered Byzantine territory in Syria and Egypt largely because of disaffected populations of Christians and Jews who had been persecuted since the time of Justinian.

		Leo's devotion to iconoclasm held, even without the support of the church and in 730 he officially condemned the use of icons, ordering their destruction and the persecution of iconodules.
		Leo defended the city of Constantinople against a Muslim invasion and produced a substantial legal manual, the Eclogal; however, he is most remembered as an iconoclast.
		Leo III was crowed emperor on March 25, 717 in the great church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.

	Iconoclasm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Iconoclastic Controversy was fueled by the refusal of many Christians resident outside the Byzantine Empire, including many Christians living in the Islamic Caliphate to accept the emperor's theological arguments.
		Ironically, Christians living under Muslim rule at this time had more freedom to write in defense of icons than did those living in the Byzantine Empire.
		Emperor Leo V (reigned 813-820) instituted a second period of Iconoclasm in 813, which seems to have been less rigorously enforced, since there were fewer martyrdoms and public destructions of icons.

	The Empire
		It is also worth noting, for it is a fact neglected even by some professional historians, that the Byzantine Empire retook the City of Rome from the Ostrogoths in 553, and held it for the next 200 years.
		This covers the various phases of the Roman Empire: the original, the Western, the Eastern (Byzantine), and the Holy Roman Empire.

	Byzantine Empire - Nicophorus and Leo - History for Kids!
		He was a great admirer of Islam and the Islamic Empire (and therefore a moderate iconoclast), but he ended up spending most of his reign fighting the Abbasid Caliph anyway.
		Leo V brought back iconoclasm, for practical reasons rather than religious ones: he was more popular as an iconoclast.
		Fortunately for the Empire, Krum died the next year, and both the Bulgars and the Islamic Empire were occupied with civil wars for some time afterward.

	Byzantine Empire - All About Turkey

		The Byzantine Empire is also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, for it was in fact a continuation of the Roman Empire into its eastern part.
		The Byzantine Empire, however, had left its mark on the culture, never to be entirely erased even after the Conquest.
