Byzantine emperor from 912 to 913
People connected to Alexander
He ruled the Byzantine Empire for eight months. In a dynasty that gave Rome some of its longest reigns, Alexander's was among the shortest—and the least remembered.
Born 23 November 870, Alexander was the third emperor of the Macedonian dynasty. He came to power in 912, inheriting an empire at the height of its medieval resurgence. His reign ended 6 June 913. What happened in those eight months left almost no mark on the chronicles, and he remains a footnote in a line that produced some of Byzantium's most consequential rulers.
