Leo IV, called Chozar or the Khazars (c. 750 – September 8, 780), succeeded his father, Constantine V, as emperor of the Byzantine Empire in 775. In 776 he associated his young son, Constantine, with himself in the empire, and suppressed an uprising led by his five step-brothers which broke out as a result of this proceeding. Like his father and Leo III, Leo was successful in battle against the Arabs and Bulgars. Unlike his father and grandfather, however, Leo favoured the iconoclasm, and restored an iconophile Patriarch of Constantinople. During his reign Leo was largely under the influence of his wife Byzantine Empress Irene, and when he died suddenly in 780 she was left as the guardian of his son and successor, Constantine VI. ----- 750s births 780 deaths Khazars Byzantine emperors Isaurian dynasty
