Notwithstanding these conditions Byzantine Ar- menia was not in an enviable situation. The revolt which broke out in 666, during the reign of Constans II, had been put down by the patrician, Nicephorus. 4 While the throne of Byzantium was occupied by Constantine Copronymus, the Strategus, Artavasd, who was a scion of a noble Armenian family, marched against his brother-in-law, the Emperor, in order to dethrone him (743). All of the Arme- nians who were connected with this insurrectionary moveme...nt were either proscribed or put to death. Shortly afterwards another plot was unearthed and Constantine Porphyrogenitus, at the instigation of his mother, Irene, issued orders which resulted in many executions. From the moment that the Isau- rian dynasty occupied the throne of the Caesars, Ar- menians began to take a greater and greater part in the councils of State of the Empire and in the command of the Byzantine armies. Once again the Imperial Guard was largely composed of Armenians. Among the more illustrious names may be cited: Artavasd Mamiconian, Varaz-Tirotz and Vardane, whom the Byzantines call Bardane.
