Romanus III Argyrus

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Romanus III Argyrus

(born c. 968—died April 11, 1034) Byzantine emperor (1028–34). An undistinguished Byzantine patrician, he was compelled by the dying emperor Constantine VIII to marry his daughter Zoe and become his successor. Romanus proved inept in military and financial matters, and his effort to repel Muslim invaders was unsuccessful (1030). He is believed to have been poisoned by his wife.
