1058 CE

Cerularius, having had a role in bringing Isaac I Komnenos to the throne, next quarrels with the emperor over his stringent financial policies, including the confiscation of some church property, and over the Patriarch's attempt to subordinate civil power to the church.

Michael goes so far as to take the highly symbolic step of donning the purple shoes ceremonially reserved for the Emperor.

Michael apparently plans a rebellion to overthrow the Emperor and claim the Imperial Throne for himself or for his relative Constantine Doukas.

Isaac exiles Michael to Proconnesus in 1058 and, as Michael refuses to step down, has Michael Psellos draw up an accusation of heresy and treason against him.
