Joint rule as junior emperor with Leo IV (his father), 24 April 776 - 8 September 780 A.D. Joint rule with Irene (his mother and regent), 8 September 780 - 19 August 797 A.D. Constantine VI was still a child when his father died, so his mother served as regent. In 790 he took control and sent her into exile, but within a year she was back as co-ruler. Constantine was cruel, weak and unpopular. His mother was also cruel, but not weak. In 797, she deposed and blinded her own son and took sole rule of the empire.
