Disputed Lineages

Officially, Leo was the son of Basileios I and his wife Evdokia Ingerina, but Basileios seems to have suspected that in reality his father was Mikhael III. It is not possible to know for sure what the truth was.

Leo VI, called the Wise (19 September 866 – 11 May 912), was Byzantine Emperor from 886 to 912. The second ruler of the Macedonian dynasty (although his parentage is unclear), he was very well read, leading to his epithet. During his reign, the renaissance of letters, begun by his predecessor Basil I, continued; but the Empire also saw several military defeats in the Balkans against Bulgaria and against the Arabs in Sicily and the Aegean. His reign also witnessed the formal discontinuation of several ancient Roman institutions, such as the separate office of Roman consul.
