Heraclius offered the " keys of the Holy Sepulchre, those of the Tower of David and the banner of the Kingdom of Jerusalem ", but not the crown itself, to both Philip II of France and Henry II of England ; the latter, as a grandson of Fulk, was a first cousin of the royal family of Jerusalem, and had promised to go on crusade after the murder of Thomas Becket.

In this condemnation were included not only the Ecthesis ( the exposition of faith of the Patriarch Sergius for which the emperor Heraclius had stood sponsor ), but also the typus of Paul, the successor of Sergius, which had the support of the reigning Emperor ( Constans II ).

His full name was Yuhanna ( or Yanah ) ibn Mansur ibn Sarjun (), named for his grandfather Mansur, who had been responsible for the taxes of the region under the Emperor Heraclius.

By 610, the younger Heraclius had reached the vicinity of Constantinople, and most of the military loyal to Phocas had gone down in defeat or defected.

They also claim that William went to Rome to appeal to the Pope, where Heraclius had him poisoned.

Justinian hoped that this would contribute to a reunion between the Chalcedonians and monophysites in the eastern provinces of the Empire ; various attempts at reconciliation between the monophysite and orthodox parties were made by many emperors over the four centuries following the Council of Ephesus, none of them succeeding, and some, attempts at reconciliation, such as this — the condemnation of the Three Chapters — causing further schisms and heresies to arise in the process, such as the aforementioned schism of the Three Chapters, and the heresies of monoenergism and monotheletism — the propositions, respectively, that Christ had only one function, operation, or energy ( purposefully formulated in an equivocal and vague manner, and promulgated between 610 and 622 by the Emperor Heraclius under the advisement of Patriarch Sergius I of Constantinople ) and that Christ only had one will ( promulgated in 638 by the same ).

The Council settled a set of theological controversies that go back to the sixth century but had intensified under the Emperors Heraclius ( 610 – 641 ) and Constans II ( 641 – 668 ).

Heraclius had set out to much of his Empire from the Persians and had attempted to bridge the controversy with Monophysitism, which was particularly strong in Syria and Egypt, by proposing a moderate theological position that had as good support in the tradition as any other.

Coming to the imperial throne in 610, the patriarch had long since converted the emperor to the new doctrine, as by 622, Heraclius had communicated with Bishop Paul of Armenia where the emperor asserted that the energy, or the active force, of Christ was single.

Over the next few years Heraclius was preoccupied with his prosecution of the war against the Sassanids, but by 626 he had issued a decree to Arcadius, Bishop of Cyprus, requesting that he teach the doctrine of " one hegumenic energy ".

When news reached Heraclius of the Pope ’ s condemnation, he was already old and ill, and the news only hastened his death, declaring with his dying breath that the controversy was all due to Sergius, and that the patriarch had pressured him to give his unwilling approval to the Ecthesis.

The death of Heraclius in 641 had thrown the political situation in Constantinople into chaos, and his young grandson Constans II eventually succeeded him.

In the region of Saints Gaius and Eusebius are some crypts set apart, opposite each other, with the tombs of Pope Gaius ( with an inscription ) and Pope Eusebius, who died in Sicily where he had been exiled by Maxentius and whose body was translated to Rome during the pontificate of Militiades ; on a marble copy of the end of the 4th century ( of which fragments may be seen on the opposite wall ) may be read of an inscription by Damasus on the schism provoked by Heraclius over the matter of the lapsi.

Princeps, because of its republican connotation, was most commonly used to refer to the emperor in Latin ( although the emperor's actual constitutional position was essentially " pontifex maximus with tribunician power and imperium superseding all others ") as it was in keeping with the façade of the restored Republic ; the Greek word basileus (" king ") was modified to be synonymous with emperor ( and primarily came into favour after the reign of Heraclius ) as the Greeks had no republican sensibility and openly viewed the emperor as a monarch.

Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus claimed that Porga, duke of the Dalmatian Croats, who had been invited into Dalmatia by Heraclius, sent to Emperor Heraclius for Christian teachers.

Constans ' sons Constantine, Heraclius, and Tiberius had been associated on the throne since the 650s.

Starting with Emperor Heraclius, Roman emperors styled themselves " King of Kings " ( from the imperial Persian " Shananshah ") from 627 and " Basileus " ( from the title used by Alexander the Great ) from 629.

In 629 CE Emperor Heraclius, having changed the official language to Greek nine years earlier, adopted the title of basileus, previously used by Alexander the Great as a translations for emperor and it is thereafter used interchangeably ( and often in conjunction with ) autokrator in the Byzantine Empire.

Conversion of the South Slavs from Paganism to Christianity began in the early 7th century, long before the Great Schism, the split between the Greek Orthodox East and the Roman Catholic West, the Serbs were first Christinaized during the reign of Heraclius ( 610-641 ) but were fully Christianized by Byzantine Christian Missionaries ( Saints ) Cyril and Methodius in 869 during Basil I, who sent them after Knez Mutimir, had acknowledged the suzerainty of the Byzantine Empire.

More South Slavs came in a second wave, and according to some scholars were invited by Emperor Heraclius to drive the Avars from Dalmatia.

Abandoned by several of his nobles, Heraclius II managed to mobilize around 5, 000 troops, including some 2, 000 auxiliaries from neighbouring Imereti under its King Solomon II, a member of the Georgian Bagrationi Dynasty and thus distantly related to Heraclius II.

The last surviving Georgian artillery briefly held the advancing Persians to allow Heraclius II and his retinue of some 150 men to escape through the city to the mountains.

Saladin was generous and freed some of those who were forced into slavery ; his brother Saphadin did the same, and both Balian and Heraclius freed many others with their own money.

The citizens lost their right to free grain in 618 when Heraclius realised that the city no longer could be supplied from Egypt as a result of the Persian wars: the population dropped substantially in size as a result.

The Byzantine Emperor, Heraclius, promised to restore Jewish rights and received Jewish help in defeating the Persians, but he soon reneged on the agreement after reconquering Palestine by issuing an edict banning Judaism from the Byzantine Empire.

Sardinia and Libya were already conquered by Marcellinus and Heraclius, when Basiliscus cast anchor off the Promontorium Mercurii, now Cap Bon, opposite Sicily, about forty miles from Carthage.

Heraclius effected his retreat through the desert into Tripolitania, holding the position for two years until recalled ; Marcellinus retired to Sicily, where he was reached by Basiliscus ; the general was, however, assassinated, perhaps at the instigation of Ricimer, by one of his own captains ; and the king of the Vandals expressed his surprise and satisfaction, that the Romans themselves would remove from the world his most formidable antagonists.
