John Kourkouas, also transliterated as Kurkuas or Curcuas, was one of the most important generals of the Byzantine Empire. His success in battles against the Muslim states in the East reversed the course of the centuries-long Arab-Byzantine wars and set the stage for Byzantium's eastern conquests later in the century.
