     Leo/Léon Phokas Domestikos of the West was born between 915 and 920.⁶
Leo/Léon Phokas Domestikos of the West died after 970; William [2004] says d. aft 970; Med Lands says d. 969/970.^6,7
      ; Per Wikipedia (Fr.):
     "Léon Phocas (grec : ???? ?????), né entre 915 et 920 et mort après 971, était un général de l'Empire byzantin, frère cadet de l'empereur Nicéphore Phocas. Il fut ministre pendant le règne de son frère avant d'être évincé par le nouvel empereur Jean Tzimiskès en 969.
     "Léon est le plus jeune fils du général Bardas Phocas l'Ancien. Il obtient un premier commandement dans les armées de l'Est sous le règne de Constantin VII. En 945, il est nommé stratège du thème de Cappadoce et environ dix ans plus tard, stratège de celui du plus prestigieux thème des Anatoliques. Sous Romain II, il est nommé domestique des Scholes de l'Ouest c'est-à-dire commandant des armées de l'Ouest (les Balkans) et élevé au rang de magistros. Alors que son frère ainé Nicéphore mène une expédition en Crète, Léon le remplace sur le front de l'est. L'émir d'Alep Ali Sayf al-Dawla profitant de la faiblesse relative de l'Empire byzantin, ses principales forces terrestres étant immobilisées au siège de Candie, décide de mener une expédition en Asie Mineure. C'est lors de cette campagne que Léon prouve tout son talent militaire. Plutôt que d'essayer de poursuivre l'armée de l'émir avec une armée fatiguée, il attend le retour des armées arabes ralenties par le butin et les nombreux prisonniers. Les Byzantins tendent une embuscade dans un défilé rocher. Seul l'émir parvient à s'échapper avec une centaine d'hommes. Léon est alors rejoint par son frère Nicéphore, victorieux, et tous deux entreprennent la conquête de l'émirat d'Alep.
     "De retour à l'Ouest, il rejoint Nicéphore, rappelé par l'impératrice Théophano, en 963 à Chrysopolis à la mort de Romain II dont la mort suspecte et les rumeurs laissent entendre qu'elle l'aurait empoisonné. Son parakimomène de l'empereur, Joseph Bringas, complotant contre l'impératrice tente de prendre en otage leur père Bardas Phocas, lorsqu'il apprend l'arrivée imminente des deux généraux, mais celui-ci s'échappe et se réfugie dans Sainte-Sophie, poursuivi par plusieurs hommes d'armes de Bringas, en pleine messe du dimanche. Le peuple protégeant le vieux général, ouvre les portes de la ville aux deux frères.
     "Sous le règne de Nicéphore II, il est nommé kouropalates jusqu'à l'assassinat de son frère et la prise de pouvoir de Jean Tzimiskès en 969. En 970, il mène en vain une révolte, puis une autre en 971. Il est alors condamné à mort puis gracié mais exilé sur l'île de Prote où il devait être énucléé, mais l'empereur en secret aurait demandé d'écarter le fer rougi par le feu."³

; Per Med Lands:
     "LEON Fokas, son of BARDAS Fokas & his wife --- (-[969/70]). Theophanes Continuatus names "Leonem patricium Bardæ Phocæ filium magistrum", recording that he was the deputy of "fratris sui Nicephori" in the army[1366]. Leo Diaconus names "Leonem Phocam Nicephori fratrem" when recording that Emperor Romanos I sent him to "Chambdanum"[1367]. Zonaras records that "alter filius Leo" joined his brother when "Nicephori pater Phocas Bardas" sought refuge "in Magnam Dei ecclesie", during the build-up to his son’s taking over as emperor from the context[1368]. He was appointed curopalates, domestikos of the west, by his brother. Zonaras records that Emperor Ioannes Tzimiskes exiled "Leone curopalate et filio eius Nicephoro" to Lesbos and "alteri eius filio Bardæ" to "Amasia"[1369]. Cedrenus records that Emperor Ioannes exiled "Leonem curopalatam" to "Lesbum"[1370]. Zonaras records that "Leo cum altero filio Nicephoro" left Lesbos for Thrace but were captured and blinded on the orders of Emperor Ioannes[1371].

; The fourth Candiano Doge was a violent, autocratic and wayward man who had been a pirate in his youth and who, upon his elevation, ignored all those irksome rules which had been evolved for the constitutional exercise of his high office. Living extravagantly with a palace guard of foreign mercenaries, he further shocked the people's sensibilities first by divorcing his Venetian wife to marry the sister of the Marquis of Tuscany, who brought him immense estates as part of her dowry, then by having his son appointed Bishop of Torcello after blinding a more appropriate candidate. When, in 976, he over-reached himself by demanding that the Venetians support him in quarrels in which he had become involved in Tuscany, the enraged people attacked the Palace and burned it almost to the ground by setting fire to the wooden buildings surrounding it. His wife was permitted to escape through the flames that threatened to spread across the city, but her baby son was pierced by a spear and Pietro Candiano himself hacked to death by the swords of noblemen.

; Pope John XII - Date of birth unknown; reigned 955-64. The younger Alberic, after the downfall of his mother, Marozia (932), was absolute ruler at Rome. Before his death he administered an oath (954) to the Roman nobles in St. Peter's, that on the next vacancy of the papal chair his only son, Octavius, should be elected pope. After the death of the reigning pontiff, Agapetus II, Octavius, then eighteen years of age, was actually chosen his successor on 16 December, 955, and took the name of John. The temporal and spiritual authority in Rome were thus again united in one person -- a coarse, immoral man, whose life was such that the Lateran was spoken of as a brothel, and the moral corruption in Rome became the subject of general odium. War and the chase were more congenial to this pope than church government. He was defeated in the war against Duke Pandulf of Capua, and at the same time the Ecclesiastical States were occupied by Berengarius, King of Italy, and his son Adalbert. In this dilemma the pope had recourse to the German king, Otto I, who then appeared in Italy at the head of a powerful army. Berengarius, however, did not risk an encounter, but retired to the fortified castles. On 31 January, 962, Otto reached Rome. He took an oath to recognize John as pope and ruler of Rome; to issue no decrees without the pope's consent; and, in case of his delivering the command in Italy to any one else, to exact from such person an oath to defend to the utmost of his ability the pope and the patrimony of St. Peter. The pope on his part swore to keep faith with Otto and to conclude no alliance with Berengarius and Adalbert. On 2 February, 962, Otto was solemnly crowned emperor by the pope. On the twelfth a Roman synod took place, at which John, at Otto's desire, founded the Archbishopric of Magdeburg and the Bishopric of Morseburg, bestowed the pallium on the Archbishops of Salzburg and Trier, and confirmed the appointment of Rother as Bishop of Verona. The next day, the emperor issued a decree, the famous Diploma Ottonianum, in which he confirmed the Roman Church in its possessions, particularly those granted by Pepin and Charlemagne, and provided at the same time that in future the popes should be elected in canonical form, though their consecration was to take place only after the necessary pledges had been given to the emperor or his ambassadors. The authenticity of the contents of this much-discussed document is certain, even should the extant document be only a duplicate of the original (Sickel, "Das Privilegium Ottos I, für die römische Kirche", Innsbruck, 1883). On 14 February the emperor marched out of Rome with his army to resume the war against Berengarius and Adalbert. The pope now quickly changed his mind, while Otto on his part urged the imperial authority to excessive limits. John began secret negotiations with Adalbert, son of Berengarius, and sent envoys with letters to Hungary and to Constantinople for the purpose of inciting a war against Otto. They were, however, seized by the imperial soldiers, and the emperor thus learned of the pope's treachery. John now sent an embassy to Otto to propitiate the latter, and at the same time to explain the pope's grievance, which was that the emperor had received for himself the oath of allegiance from those cities of the Ecclesiastical States, which he had reconquered from Berengarius. Otto sent an embassy to refute this accusation. At the same time Adalbert came in person to Rome, and was ceremoniously received by the pope. The faction of the Roman nobles which sympathized with the emperor now broke into revolt against John. Otto appeared for the second time in Rome (2 November, 963), while John and Adalbert fled to Tivoli. In the emperor's entourage was Liutprand, Bishop of Cremona, who thus describes the occurrences as an eyewitness. Otto now probably renewed and extended the settlement formerly effected, by obtaining from the nobles a promise on oath not to elect or consecrate a pope without the consent of the emperor.

On 6 November a synod composed of fifty Italian and German bishops was convened in St. Peter's; John was accused of sacrilege, simony, perjury, murder, adultery, and incest, and was summoned in writing to defend himself. Refusing to recognize the synod, John pronounced sentence of excommunication (ferendæ sententia) against all participators in the assembly, should they elect in his stead another pope. The emperor now came forward to accuse John of having broken the agreement ratified by oath, betrayed him, and called in Adalbert. With the imperial consent the synod deposed John on 4 December, and elected to replace him the protoscriniarius Leo, yet a layman. The latter received all the orders uncanonically without the proper intervals (interstitia), and was crowned pope as Leo VIII. This proceeding was aginst the canons of the Church, and the enthroning of Leo was almost universally regarded as invalid. Most of the imperial troops now departing from Rome, John's adherents rose against the emperor, but were suppressed on 3 January, 964, with bloodshed. Nevertheless, at Leo's request, Otto released the hundred hostages whom he had called for, and marched from Rome to meet Adalbert in the field. A new insurrection broke out in the city against the imperial party; Leo VIII fled, while John XII re-entered Rome, and took bloody vengeance on the leaders of the opposite party. Cardinal-Deacon John had his right hand struck off, Bishop Otgar of Speyer was scourged, a high palatine official lost nose and ears. On 26 February, 964, John held a synod in St. Peter's in which the decrees of the synod of 6 November were repealed; Leo VIII and all who had elected him were excommunicated; his ordination was pronounced invalid; and Bishop Sico of Ostia, who had consecrated him, was deprived forever of his dignities. The emperor, left free to act after his defeat of Berengarius, was preparing to re-enter Rome, when the pope's death changed the situation. John died on 14 May, 964, eight days after he had been, according to rumour, stricken by paralysis in the act of adultery. Luitprand relates that on that occasion the devil dealt him a blow on the temple in consequence of which he died.
