The Monk's Prophecy That Cost Thomas His Life and Throne

This episode explores the life of Thomas the Slav, a man of humble origins who rose to command a massive rebellion against the Byzantine Empire. We delve into the circumstances that led him to challenge the throne and the prophecy that foretold his fate.

Person: Thomas the Slav
Date: October 823
Location: Byzantine Empire
Event: Rebellion against Emperor Michael II

- Thomas the Slav, born poor in the Pontic highlands, became a staff officer in the household of General Bardanes Tourkos.
- A monk prophesied that Bardanes would fail, Michael and Michael would rule, and Thomas would be acclaimed emperor and die for it.
- Thomas remained loyal to Bardanes during a failed rebellion, disappearing from historical records for nearly a decade.
- Emperor Michael V later gave Thomas command of the Foederati, placing tens of thousands of soldiers under his authority.
