Basil II (sh) and rami laryngopharyngei ganglii cervicalis superioris (medicine)


Basil II (sh)




known as Basil Bulgaroctonus ("Slayer of the Bulgars")

born 957/958
died Dec. 15, 1025

Byzantine emperor (976-1025).

Crowned coemperor with his brother in 960, he had to exile the grand chamberlain (985) and defeat rival generals (989) in order to gain the authority to rule. Basil became one of the strongest Byzantine emperors, winning territory in the Balkans, Mesopotamia, Armenia, and Georgia. He was noted for his victory (1014) in the war with Bulgaria, which ended with his blinding all the soldiers in the defeated Bulgarian army. He increased his domestic authority by attacking the landed interests of the military aristocracy and of the church. Because Basil left no able successor, the gains of his rule were soon undone.
