Historical background
LEO V THE ARMENIAN and CONSTANTINE
(25/12/813-25/12/820)
Leo V did not have time to pursue the iconoclastic quarrel. Following fierce repression, he was assassinated in Saint Sophia Cathedral on Christmas Day with his son Constantine. Leo V had won great victories against the Bulgarians, especially against Krum. Leo V is a contemporary of Charlemagne, whom his predecessor Michael I had recognized as Emperor of the West in 812..
