Leo, after another failed attempt at rebellion …
Years: 972 - 972
Leo, after another failed attempt at rebellion in 971, is banished to the island of Prote and blinded.
The date of his death is unknown.
John, imprisoning Bulgarian Tsar Basil II, annexes the Bulgarian Empire and terminates the Bulgarian Patriarchate.
To preserve Constantinople’s position in the West and protect imperial territories in southern Italy from a northern invasion, the Emperor arranges a marriage on April 14, 972 between one of his relatives, Theophanu, and Otto II, crowned co-regent king of Italy and Germany with his father and co-regent of the German emprire.
The arrangement implies no recognition of a Western claim to the empire, however.
