<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 6413246, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with much written here. In fact my avatar is part of this discussion. The Byzantine emperor was always acknowledged in the west, with western rulers always only being a king, and &quot;the emperor&quot; being in Constantinople. Only under the reign of Irene, being a woman, did the Pope declare there is no emperor anymore in the East, thereby giving himself the power to crown a western emperor, Charlemagne. That is the definitive moment westerners stopped acknowledging the emperorship of the Byzantines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
