Notes |
- Emperor of Byzantium 1028-1034
beim Baden im Kaiserpalast gestorben, wahrscheinlich ermordet. Quaestor im Range eines Protopatharios, Krites mit dem Patrikios-Titel, Oikonomos an der Hagia Sophia, schließlich 1028 Eparch von Konstantinopel, Ks. v. Byzanz 1028
Basil II , The soldier, he served as judge, and under Constantine VIII he became urban prefect of Constantinople . Romanos attracted the attention of Constantine VIII, who forced him to divorce his wife (sending her into a monastery ) and to marry the emperor's daughter Zoe . The marriage took place on November 12 , 1028 , and three days later Constantine VIII died, leaving Romanos III as emperor.
The new emperor showed great eagerness to make his mark as a ruler, but was mostly unfortunate in his enterprises. He spent large sums upon new buildings and in endowing the monks , and in his endeavour to relieve the pressure of taxation disorganized the finances of the state. Idealizing Marcus Aurelius , Romanos aspired to be a new " philosopher king ", and similarly desired to imitate the military prowess of Trajan .
Romanos III Argyros - severely ill - dies inside the palace in 1034. In the picture, Romanos in a bath where he dies, from the Chronicle of John Skylitzes .
In 1030 he resolved to retaliate upon the incursions of the Muslims on the eastern frontier by leading a large army in person against Aleppo , but by allowing himself to be surprised on the march sustained a serious defeat at Azaz near Antioch . Though this disaster was retrieved by the capture and successful defence of Edessa by George Maniakes in 1032 and by the defeat of a Saracen fleet in the Adriatic , Romanus never recovered his popularity.
As a member of the aristocracy, Romanos III abandoned his predecessors' curtailment of the privileges of the nobility and reduced their taxes, at the same time allowing peasant freeholders to fall into a condition of serfdom. In a vain attempt to reduce expenditure, Romanos limited his wife's expenses, which merely exacerbated the alienation between the spouses.
At home Romanos III faced several conspiracies, mostly centered around his sister-in-law Theodora , as in 1029 and 1030. Although he survived these attempts on the throne, his early death in 1034 was supposed to have been due to poison administered by his wife, though it has also been alleged that he was drowned in a bath on his wife's orders.
