Miniaturen: Der Mord an Bardas vor den Füssen Michael's III. im Jahre 865-866 (oben). Text aus der Chronik von Johannes Skylitzes: "... Als Bardas die Männer mit gezücktem Schwert andrängen sah, da wußte er sofort, daß er dem Tode geweiht sei. Er warf sich dem Kaiser zu Füßen, aber man zog ihn von dort weg und zerhackte ihn buchstäblich. Darauf befestigten sie seine Geschlechtsteile an einer Stange und führten sie offen vor. ..." (Synopsis Historion S. 112 übersetzt von Hans Thurn, in: Byzantinische Geschichtsschreiber 15, S. 148-149) Rückkehr der Armee und Krönung von Basileios zum Vizekaiser (unten). Text aus der Chronik von Johannes Skylitzes: "... So schied Bardas aus dieser Welt, und so wurde der Feldzug gegen die Kreter abgebrochen, da der Kaiser nach Byzanz zurückkehrte. Diese Tat war es, die dem Basileios letztlich in den Genuß der Kaiserwürde emporbrachte. Michael hatte keine Nachkommenschaft und war unfähig, die Regierungsgeschäfte auszuüben. So ehrte er den Basileios mit der Würde des Magistros, adoptierte ihn; kurz darauf zog er zur Großen Kirche, um ihm das Diadem aufs Haupt zu setzen. ..." (Synopsis Historion S. 113 übersetzt von Hans Thurn, in: Byzantinische Geschichtsschreiber 15, S. 149)
