What were the politics of the byzantine empire?
The Byzantine Empire was an Empire, with one Roman (Byzantine) Emperor heading it. The Emperor had full control of the Church, and assigned governors to multiple administrative divisions called themas, or Themes. Unlike the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church was controlled by the Byzantine emperor. A patriarch would be in Constantinople as the main religious leader over all the bishops and priests. The Empire had suffered many different Civil Wars, and changing hands of dynasties, and even was separated into multiple states at one point with the sacking of Constantinople by Venetian Republic's crusaders, with the three major states at that time being the Despotate of Epirus, Empire of Trebizond, and the Empire of Nicaea. The Empire of Nicaea eventually defeated the Latin Empire left behind by the Venetians in Constantinople, and they retook the City, becoming the new Byzantine Empire.
