[@1488EVERGETES]

@@janpeda164 no bro no bullshit. He has been the greatest emperor of byzantium. Kill pagans? Who didnt by that time. And the people who killed in constantinople was the revolt of Niká caused by the green group of the hipodrome who were monofists (a bit different than the orthodox), they burned lot of places in constantinople and even proclaimed their own emperor, Hipatio. If you were the emperor what would you do? Let those people burn the rest of constantinople and let them kill u? I dont think so. And besides the high taxes werent because he wanted. It was because of the war against persia. The pax aeterna a peace treat btw the 2 nations demanded high payments from the byzantines to persia. What would you do instead? Nobody is perfect but even with all that he still the greatest byzantine emperor with the longer territory ever.

[@varangiangaming7178]

@Kieran Brown Nature Vids it's not, the main reason being that the pope never had and will never have the legal authority to crown a Roman emperor/empress. The only people who could legally crown an emperor or empress were either the Senate or the military. Also the HRE was mostly German, which unlike Greek(the parent culture of Latin) is an entirely different ethnic and cultural group. Trust me dude I'm a descendant of The Empress Matilda from the HRE and not even I like the HRE. Truth be told it was also a political mess, and just looking at it's map is enough to make most historians and geographers throw up in disgust.
