| Summary: | Eudocia, third wife of the emperor Constantine V, gave birth to five sons (Christopher, Nicephorus, Anthimus, Nicetas, Eudocimus) and one daughter (Anthousa). The eldest son was Christopher, born around 757 and proclaimed caesar on April 2, 769. After the death of Constantine V, his five sons suffered a common fate. When Nicephorus was accused of conspiracy in 776, his brothers had also to face serious consequences: in 780 they were forced to become priests, in 792 they were mutilated, in 797 they were exiled to Athens, in 799 to Panormos and in 812 to Afoussia. After this date nothing is known about their life; Christopher’s date of death remains unknown. |
