Michael IV, 12 April 1034 - 10 December 1041 A.D.

Michael IV, the Paphlagonian, was a good ruler, but was weakened by epilepsy. He secluded himself, and as a consequence, his brother John did much of the business of government. He used taxation to the point of extortion, causing a revolt in the Balkans. Michael put down the revolt, but died soon after.

"CONSTANTINOPOLIS (Istanbul, Turkey - 41°02'N, 28°57'E), founded as Byzantium about 660 BC by Greeks from Megara, is located on the European side of the southern end of the Bosporus. It became a Roman ally in the second century BC, and maintained independent status until at least the first century AD. It was destroyed by Septimius Severus for aiding Pescennius Niger, but rebuilt within the same reign. Constantine I re-founded it as his capital, gave it his name, and opened a mint which struck for over 1,100 years under the Romans and Byzantines. It became the capital of the Byzantine Empire."- from Moneta Historical Research by Tom Schroer
