Historical background


MICHAEL VII DUKAS

(24/10/1071-24/03/1078)

Michael succeeded Roman IV when the latter, liberated by the Turks and returning to Constantinople, was blinded and died of his wound. Part of Asia Minor was lost, Sicily was invaded by the Normans and a sedition broke out in the Balkans. Michael was overthrown by a plot in 1078. Deposed, he retired to a monastery.
