		While Justinian and Theodora were in exile at Cherson, Apsimaros, who as emperor took the name Tiberius, became aware of Justinian's plans to regain the empire and bribed Theodora's brother, the Chazar chagan, to deliver Justinian alive to him, or failing that his head.

		As emperors' wives, Irene, Euphrosyne and Theodora "exercised imperial power and changed the course of the empire's history in a purposive, deliberate, and connected fashion." Their commitment to preserving the role of Christian icons in worship was especially significant, Herrin argues, since they defied years of opposing edicts and eventually succeeded.
		Though this was later reversed, Theodora, from her position as widow of the emperor Theophilus, succeeded in 843 in restoring icons to the prominent place to which early Byzantine society had elevated them.
		Empress Irene came from Athens as a young woman and after her husbands death was regent for her son for over 10 years and eventually ruled in her own name for 5 years, an unprecedented act in royal circles in that time.
