JUSTINIAN IL , RITINoTMETUS (669-711), See also:East See also:Roman See also:emperor 685-695 and 704-711, succeeded his See also:father See also:Constantine IV., at the See also:age of sixteen. His reign was unhappy both at See also:home and abroad. After a successful invasion he made a truce with the See also:Arabs, which admitted them to the See also:joint See also:possession of See also:Armenia, Iberia and See also:Cyprus, while by removing 12,000 See also:Christian See also:Maronites from their native See also:Lebanon, he gave the Arabs a command over See also:Asia See also:Minor of which they took See also:advantage in 692 by conquering all Armenia. In 688 Justinian decisively defeated the Bulgarians. Meanwhile the See also:bitter dissensions caused in the See also:- CHURCH

- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)

Church by the emperor, his bloody persecution of the Manichaeans, and the rapacity with which, through his creatures Stephanus and Theodatus, he extorted the means of gratifying his sumptuous tastes and his See also:mania for erecting costly buildings, drove his subjects into See also:rebellion. In 695 they See also:rose under See also:Leontius, and, after cutting off the emperor's See also:nose (whence his surname), banished him to Cherson in the See also:Crimea. Leontius, after a reign of three years, was in turn dethroned and imprisoned by Tiberius Absimarus, who next assumed the See also:purple. Justinian meanwhile had escaped from Cherson and married See also:Theodora, See also:sister of Busirus, See also:khan of the See also:Khazars. Compelled, however, by the intrigues of Tiberius, to quit his new home, he fled to Terbelis, See also:- KING

king of the Bulgarians. With an See also:army of 15,000 horsemen Justinian suddenly pounced upon See also:Constantinople, slew his rivals Leontius and Tiberius, with thousands of their partisans, and once more ascended the See also:throne in 704. His second reign was marked by an unsuccessful See also:war against Terbelis, by Arab victories in Asia Minor, by devastating expeditions sent against his own cities of See also:Ravenna and Cherson, where he inflicted horrible See also:punishment upon the disaffected nobles and refugees, and by the same cruel rapacity towards his subjects. Conspiracies again See also:broke out: Bardanes, surnamed See also:Philippicus, assumed the purple, and Justinian, the last of the See also:house of See also:Heraclius, was assassinated in Asia Minor, See also:December 711.
