This book reveals the events of the reign of the Great Macedonian dynasty of the Byzantine emperors. Having accepted the kingdom in a minute of a deep political, economic and military crisis, emperors Vasily I Macedonian, lion VI wise, St. Nicephorus I Foka, John I Tsimishiy and others soon conquered for Byzantium almost all previously lost territories in the East, returning the empire to brilliance, power and strength. It was with them that the Arab expansion practically ended, having exhausted its potential opportunities, the slow sunset of the caliphate began.
In addition to military and political events, the book sets out the features of the relationship between the Patriarchs of Constantinople and the Roman Church, which experienced the most severe crisis of the papacy, which ideologists of the "Kluni reform" hoped to overcome. At the same time, the Eastern Church was tested by the Greek Wads, expressed in sharp competition with the imperial power and gradual administrative subordination to Constantinople of the remaining patriarchal thrones.
The way out of this confrontation between the two universal church departments was the tragic split of 1054, after which two independent centers of political and church authorities were formed in the Christian world. The following events only aggravated the split and created the prerequisites for new civilizational processes that led to previously unprecedented results
