Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses the second fall of Photius, brought about by Basil's death, and the reign of Emperor Leo VI. Leo brutally ousted Photius and installed in the patriarchate his own brother Stephen. Leo VI's relation with patriarch and bishops was complicated by his four successive marriages, disagreeable to Greek canon law. The emperor however, was able to win support from Rome, with western canon law being more flexible.
