Byzantine Empire (395- 1453) is the Eastern Roman Empire, and Byzantium is also called the New Rome. The core of the empire is located in Constantinople and the Balkans in southeastern Europe, and the territory once included West Asia and North Africa. At the peak, it also includes Italy, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Caucasus, South Coast of Spain and Mediterranean Coast of North Africa. It is the oldest monarchy in Europe. The Byzantine Empire experienced 12 dynasties and 93 emperors. 1204, the imperial capital, New Rome (Constantinople), was captured by the fourth Crusade until it was recovered in 126 1 year. 1453 On May 29th, Sultan II of the Ottoman Empire led an army into Constantinople (now Istanbul), and the Eastern Roman Empire officially perished.

Today, let's take a look at the three wonderful female emperors of Europe's oldest empire:

Odola-Prostitutes Fight for Power.

The Byzantine Queen odola (Theodorati odola) was nicknamed Dora from 508 to 548. Empress of Byzantine Empire, wife of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. She is one of the most influential and powerful women in the world. She died of cancer. Odola was not a standard lady at first, but a prostitute, but later she conquered almost everyone with her own practical actions, which proved that she was a qualified queen. After theodora (played by odola) became Justinian's housewife, she was as greedy for money as decision-making and often showed arrogance. Sometimes she even withdraws her husband's orders, but her actions are often beneficial to the whole country. In particular, her calm and confident performance in the rebellion in 532 AD was enough to make anyone look askance.

Odola (odola) also has a compassionate side. As for Belisariau's wife's adultery, she is very tolerant. She also built a beautiful confessional monastery for healthy prostitutes. Some prostitutes felt remorse for their confession, so they jumped out of the window and died alive. She has a motherly interest in her friend's marriage and has arranged several couples. She was one of the first rulers to recognize women's rights. She has made strict laws against buying and selling girls and revised the divorce law to make it beneficial to women.

She eased Justinian's impatience, protected pagans, challenged the papacy, and secretly encouraged the East to establish an independent "Christian monism" church. Odola deserves to be an enterprising woman. Her character just complements Justinian's indecisive character, which is the main reason why Justinian has always been obsessed with her.

3. Mention Queen odola-born in the royal family, but never married.

Empress odola (reigned 1042 ~ 1056): daughter of Macedonian emperors Constantine VIII and Helena, sister of Macedonian Zoe, third and last queen of Byzantine empire and last emperor of Macedonian dynasty; Since 1042, he, his sister Zoe and his brother-in-law Dante Of nine have been the lords of the Byzantine Empire, and the three emperors were in power together. 1052, his sister Zoe, a Macedonian, died, and he took power with his brother-in-law Dante Of nine. 1054 Dante Of nine became a separate queen after her death; Without an heir, Mikhail VI was appointed to the throne before the death of 1056, and the Macedonian dynasty ended. Odola is unmarried for life.

Zoe, a peerless beauty in Macedonia, has been married three times.

Macedonian Zoe (1042 ~ 1050 reigned): also known as "orthodox direct Zoe", the daughter of Macedonian emperor Constantine VIII and Byzantine empress Helena, Emperor Luo Menas III, and the second empress of Byzantine empire; Flo· Minas III succeeded to the throne after his father died. On 1034, she conspired with confidant eunuch John * * * to kill her husband. In the same year, she married Michelle from Pavre, Gogna, and helped her ascend to the throne, becoming Mikhail IV. 104 1 year, Mikhail iv died, and she made Mikhail v, her nephew and adopted son, emperor. Mikhail V tried to exclude her, but she won the support of the citizens of Constantinople, the capital loyal to the Macedonian dynasty, and abolished Mikhail V as the orthodox school of the Macedonian dynasty. She and her sister Tiodola were on the same footing in 1042. In the same year, he married Dante Of nine, who was in his sixties, and san huang ruled together.

Zoe, a Macedonian, was married three times in her life in order to have a male monarch in her empire. Ironically, Mikhail IV, the most capable of her three husbands, just didn't want to be emperor. It is said that she is a peerless beauty, and even some writers have commented that she is like a beautifully made roast chicken. "Every piece of meat on her body is hard and delicious." She knows her charm and is in good health, so as to exert her charm as much as possible. She has a typical Byzantine primitive spirit. She transformed many rooms in her bedroom into laboratories, where she studied mysterious beauty drugs. Therefore, even though she is over 60 years old, there are still no wrinkles on her face.

1, Queen Irina-stabbing her son in the eye only for the upper position.

Empress Irina (reigned from 797 to 802): Emperor Leo IV of the Byzantine Empire, the biological mother of Constantine VI, the first empress of the Byzantine Empire and the last empress of the Byzantine Empire; In 780, after the death of her husband Leo IV, she made her son Constantine VI emperor and empress dowager, holding actual power. In 797, he abolished his son and became a queen. It was deposed in 802 and the Isurian dynasty ended.

She is the only queen in the history of Byzantine Empire who used the title of male emperor instead of female emperor. Later, Irina became more and more happy when she saw that people were increasingly opposed to the little emperor. In 797, Constantine sent troops. She instigated the emperor's subordinates to launch an uprising and captured the emperor. Irina ordered Constantine to be blinded and deprived of all his decision-making power.
