Constantine VII, with the help of his supporters, closed the sons of Romanos I, and personally ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire from January 945 to his death in November 959. The sons of Emperor Romanos I suddenly rebelled and closed their father in December 944. Since 920 Constantine VII has become increasingly far from the imperial authorities. In December 920, Romanos I Lekapenos (920-944) was crowned a co-emperor, but he really took over the imperial reign in Constantinople. Later in May 919 Constantine VII married Helena Lekapene, daughter of Romanos Lekapenos. Ĭonstantine VII was too young to rule on his own, and the governorship was created. Leon VI died in May 912, and his brother and co-emperor Alexander became the ruler of Constantinople, but Alexander died in 913. Leon VI gave the crown to young Constantine VII in 908 and he became the co-emperor. The emperor Constantine VII "Porphyrogenitus" (905-959) was only surviving son of the emperor Leo(n) VI the Wise (886-912).
