The year 800 AD saw Pope Leo III crown Charlemagne 'Emperor Of The Romans'
Yet there already was a Roman Emperor in Constantinople (New Rome), he was dethroned by his Mother, Eirene.
She would become the first Roman Empress.
These chaotic events coincide with major developments happening at
the frontiers, namely the Islamic tide that plunged into western Europe, the Middle-East and central Asia during the 7th & 8th centuries AD.
The Ummayad and Aghlabid Emirates in the west broke away from the Abbasid Caliphate of Baghdad but continued the fight against Infidels (Jihad).
Meanwhile the Turks are making their own presence felt in the shape of the
Khazar and Bulgar Khanates.
Can New Rome survive or will it go the same way as Old Rome?
