LEO IV, Byzantine Emperor

(Leo the Khazar), d. 780, Byzantine emperor (775–80), son and successor of Constantine V. He owed his nickname to his mother, a Khazar princess. Leo tempered the iconoclastic excesses of his father's reign. On his death his Athenian wife, Irene, became regent for their son, Constantine VI.
