To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Few fiercer persecutions are recorded in history than those of Constantine Copronymus.
/. Leo /K and Iconoclasm. His successor, Leo IV., was also an Iconoclast, but was weak of purpose. His wife, Irene, was a favorer of image worship. Leo IV. died 780, and was succeeded by Constantine VI., a boy nine years of age.
g. Irene and the Second Council ofNiccea (787). Irene was now practically empress, and she at once set about devising plans for the restoration of image worship.
The army, which had r...eceived its training from Constan- tine Copronymus, was known to be decidedly averse to images. The ecclesiastics throughout the empire had taken oaths against images, as a condition of their instal- lation. Irene began by appointing monks to the most important ecclesiastical offices. She opened the way for all ranks of her subjects to become monks. The patri- arch of Constantinople, Paulus, who had been a zealous Iconoclast, was induced to lay down the patriarchal dig- nity and to recommend for the position Tarasius, first Secretary of State, who was known to be entirely sub- servient to the will of Irene.
