	Encyclopedia: Constantine VIII
		Constantine VIII (in Greek Konstantinos VIII, written Κωνσταντίνος Η') (960 – November 15, 1028), Byzantine emperor (December 15, 1025 – November 15, 1028) was the son of the Emperor Romanus II and the younger brother of the eminent Basil II, who died childless and thus left the rule of the Byzantine Empire in his hands.
		Michael Constantine Psellus (Greek: Psellos) the younger, born in 1018 (probably at Nicomedia; according to some, at Constantinople) of a consular and patrician family, was a philosopher.
		Technically, Constantine became co-emperor with his brother when Basil assumed the throne in 976 at the age of 18, but during the 49 years that Basil II ruled, his brother had little role in the affairs of state even though Basil was often away from Constantinople fighting wars.

	All Empires History Forum: Most Effective Palaeologan Emperor
		Michael VIII failed on a religious and political level, as you may well know, but he was a wiley Byzantine in terms of diplomacy and he was a good general on the battlefield from some of the accounts that we have.
		Michael might have believed that once the moment was right to take the city, he had to do it in order to legitimize the restoration of the Empire over the claims of the other states.
		I think John VIII is commendable because he and the aged patriarch made the journey to Italy to attend the council of Ferrara-Florence in a futile attempt to obtain military aid from the unsymapthetic West.

		The event is so named because the insurrection began at the start of the evening prayer service of vespers on Easter Monday (March 30, 1282) at the Church of the Holy Spirit just outside Palermo and eventually led to the massacre of thousands of Sicily's French inhabitants over the course of the next six weeks.
