Heraklios II Konstantinos, Emperor of Byzantium (641)
- Born: 3 May 612
- Died: 25 May 641
General Notes:
Heraklios Konstantinos (Heraclius Constantine).
Heraclius Constantine was the older half-brother of Heraclonas, the son of Heraclius' second wife Martina. For political reasons, Heraclius considered Martina to be mother of them both. Constantine became emperor when Heraclius died in 641, and during his reign the Arabs conquered Egypt. He died of tuberculosis after only four months, leaving Heraclonas sole emperor; a rumor that Martina had him poisoned led to political unrest during Heraclonas' reign.
Ruled 11 Feb- 24 May 641
Marriage Information:
Heraklios married Gregoria HAKAMANISHIYA Princess of Persia, daughter of Shah-Varez HAKAMANISHIYA Emperor of Persia and Dukhtzanan SASSANID Princess of Persia.
