Historical background
MICHAEL I and THEOPHYLACT
(25/12/811-11/07/813)
Michael I Rhangbe succeeded Stauracius, his brother-in-law on October 2, 811, wounded with his father Nicephore I on July 25, 811 while fighting against Krum, Tsar of the Bulgarians. Michael I found himself unable to restore a dire situation after the death of his father-in-law, the first emperor to fall to enemies since Valens in 378. He was forced to acknowledge the elevation of Charlemagne in 812. He was finally deposed after another defeat against the Bulgarians.
