841 CE

The Cretan Saracens have attacked Euboea between 835 and 840, Lesbos in 837, and the coasts of the Thracesian Theme, whose governor (strategos), Constantine Kontomytes, inflicts a severe defeat on the Cretan Saracens in 841 when they raid the rich monastic community of Mount Latros.

Shortly before or soon after, Constantine's daughter marries the magistros Bardas, who is the nephew of Empress Theodora on his mother's side and of Patriarch John VII the Grammarian on his father's.

Bardas will later assume his father-in-law's surname.
