The High Point of Byzantium: from the Restoration to Manzikert

About This Novel

This book is the second volume of the "Byzantine Trilogy". Starting in 800 AD when Pope Leo III gave the crown and the title of Roman Emperor to Charlemagne, in less than 300 years, the Byzantine Empire continued to experience domestic political and religious turmoil, as well as harassment from foreign races such as the Goths, Bulgars, and Saracens. During the reign of Basil II, the "Butcher of Bulgaria", the empire reached its peak, but was defeated by the Turks at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 and began to decline. However, at the end of this volume, a heroic savior is welcomed - Alexius Komnenos, who will once again save the empire in crisis.
