Leo Tornikios edit

  • ... that at Christmas 1047 a failed claimant to the Byzantine throne was publicly blinded? (The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium, Kazhdan (ed), 1991, p 2097; Byzantium: the Apogee, Norwich, 1991, p 314. Both cited in-line in article.)
  • Reviewed: No. QPQ not yet required - second nomination. I intend to review two nominations today though.

Interesting GA on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. How do you feel about giving him a name?
ALT1: ... that Leo Tornikios, a failed claimant to the Byzantine throne, was publicly blinded at Christmas 1047?
