Constantine IX Monomachos
1000 CE–1055 CE · Constantinople
Constantine IX Monomachos was Byzantine emperor from 1042 to 1055, ruling alongside the empress Zoe of the Macedonian dynasty, whom he married. His reign was culturally productive, marked by a revival of learning and the reorganization of higher education in Constantinople, but militarily strained by the appearance of new threats including the Pechenegs and the first Seljuk Turkish and Norman pressures. It was during his reign that the mutual excommunications of 1054 between the churches of Rome and Constantinople took place, an episode later regarded as the East–West Schism. His policies toward the army have been criticized as weakening the empire's frontier defenses.
