Constantine VIII

(

)

... that Constantine VIII was crowned as co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire in 962 but had to wait 63 years before becoming sole ruler? Norwich. Byzantium: the Apogee pg. 174-75, 283. Ostrogorsky. History of The Byzantine State pg 265.

Reviewed: My fourth nomination, so no QPQ required, although I have reviewed 2 other DYK articles.

Improved to Good Article status by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 11:28, 17 May 2018 (UTC).

New GA, long enough, well referenced, copyvio is unlikely. No QPQ necessary. The hook is also interesting, so this is good to go. Applodion (talk) 08:45, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
