Historical background


PHILIPPICUS BARDANES

(4/11/711- 3/06/713

Philippicus, of Armenian origin, revolted against the arbitrary power of Justinian II. The revolt originated in Cherson, which Justinian had punished for having been the place of his detention. Bardanes marched on Constantinople and Justinian II and his son, Tiberius were put to death. Favorable to the Monophysite heresy, he found himself deprived of numerous supports in the West, in particular in Rome. Very quickly, Philippicus had to face the double threat of the Bulgarians with Tervel their khan, former ally of Justinian II during his reinstallation in Constantinople in 705 who practically managed under the walls of the capital and in the face of the Muslim danger which scored points and continued their work of undermining in Asia Minor.
