Basil II (or basil Phorphyrogenitus or basil the Younger reigned from 976 to 1025. Porphyrogenitus (born in purple) was a honorific title given to the son or a daughter (porphyirogenita) of a reigning emperor in the Byzantine empire. These two terms are latinisations of the Greek porphyrogennetos and porhyrogennete.
