As this person's date of death is not definitely known surely we can come up with a better title for the article. PatGallacher (talk) 00:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Contemporary Byzantine historians...
I shortened this sentence:

It now reads:

I removed the extraneous details about the event being anomalous (that seems clear from the background for this nomination being unclear, and the later part about primogeniture not being decisive implies this) and about historians providing extensive speeches and explanations (without more detail, this doesn't tell the reader that much; the "forced to" bit makes it sound like Byzantine historians are a bit inept). Since I don't have the original book, I wanted to let you know in case I misrepresented the the book.

I will note I can see an argument for mentioning the event was an anomaly, if some measure of comparison can be given. Ideally it could state something like "This event was one of N exceptions to primogeniture in Byzantinian succession, with X and Y being other examples". eπi ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 15:20, 1 May 2019 (UTC) (edited 15:31, 1 May 2019 (UTC))
