<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Stauracius&#039;&#039;&#039; (d. [[January 11]], [[812]]) was a [[Byzantine Emperor]] and son of [[Nicephorus I]]. <br /> <br /> He was paralyzed by a sword wound to his neck while fighting against the Bulgars at the [[Battle of Pliska]] ([[July 26]], [[811]]), in which his father was killed. Stauracius was saved by the Imperial guard which retreated from the battlefield, protecting the crown heir. Because of his wound he was formally crowned at [[Adrianople]], the first time an emperor had been crowned outside [[Constantinople]] since the deposition of the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustus, in [[476]].<br /> <br /> During his short reign there was a constant battle at the imperial court for an heir. Stauracius&#039; sisters tried to influence him to choose their husbands. He lost patience with them and threatened to abolish the Empire and declare a republic. In the end one of his sisters gained enough support to arrange for her husband, [[Michael I Rhangabes]], to depose Stauracius on [[October 2]], [[811]]. Stauracius retired to a monastery where he died five months later.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Credit wikipedia}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:812 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:Phocid dynasty]]<br /> [[Category:Byzantine emperors]]</div>
