Aflevering 51: Hoe Irene van Byzantium haar zoon verraadde

from Verraad in de geschiedenis · host David Lucieer, Thom Aalmoes & Elisabeth Hoekstra / New Tree Media

Eind 8e eeuw grijpt Irene van Byzantium de macht in het Oost-Romeinse Rijk. Eerst regeert ze als regent voor haar jonge zoon Constantijn VI, maar terwijl haar invloed groeit, verandert de strijd om de troon in een conflict tussen moeder en zoon. Wanneer Constantijn steeds meer steun verliest door militaire nederlagen en politieke fouten, besluit Irene toe te slaan. In het hart van het keizerlijke paleis laat ze haar eigen zoon uitschakelen en kroont zichzelf tot alleenheerser van het Byzantijnse Rijk, als eerste vrouw ooit.
