NICEPHORUS III

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 648 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICEPHORUS III . (Botaniates), emperor Io78-1081, belonged to a family which claimed descent from the Roman Fabii and rose to be
commander
  of the troops in
Asia
 . He revolted in Io78 from
Michael
  VII., and with the connivance of the Turks marched upon Nicaea, where he assumed the
purple
 . In face of another rebellious general, Nicephorus Bryennius, his election was ratified by the aristocracy and clergy. With the help of Alexius Cornnenus he drove out of the
field
  Bryennius and other rivals, but failed to clear the invading Turks out of
Asia
 
Minor
 . Nicephorus ultimately quarrelled with Alexius, who used his
influence
  with the.army to depose the emperor and banish him to a monastery. In the years of his reign he had entirely given himself over to debauchery.
See Gibbon, Decline and Fall (ed. Bury, 1896) ; Finlay, Hist. of
Greece
 ; G.' Schlumberger, Nicephore Phocas (Paris, 189o); K. Leonardt, Kaiser Nicephorus H. (
Halle
 , 1887).
