This video is basically my own personal ranking list of all 15 ruling dynasties of the Byzantine Empire (330-1453). Having such a long lifespan, the Byzantine Empire in 1,100 years was ruled by 90 different emperors coming from 15 different dynasties. Some of these dynasties were short-lived ones lasting for only a few decades while others were long ones that they ruled for almost 2 centuries. Some dynasties in Byzantine history though may have done a terrible job in running the empire and some did a great job. However, some short-lived dynasties happened to be great whereas some longer ones weren't, although very few dynasties in Byzantine history ruled for a long time. However, the one thing all 15 dynasties in Byzantine history went through no matter how great or how terrible they were was that they all underwent great challenges as not a decade in Byzantine history went by without wars or political unrest. In this 40 minute video, I will be ranking all the 15 dynasties in Byzantine history from my own personal WORST to BEST, so please keep in mind that this video is very much just based on my OWN OPINIONS on each dynasty. Now, here is how I ranked all 15 of them:
00:00 Intro
01:17 XV- The Nikephorian Dynasty (802-813)
03:07 XIV- The Angelos Dynasty (1185-1204)
06:15 XIII- The Doukas Dynasty (1059-1081)
09:00 XII- The Valentinian Dynasty (364-392)
11:21 XI- The Isaurian Dynasty (717-802)
13:31 X- The Laskaris Dynasty (1204-1261)
15:39 IX- The Constantinian Dynasty (293-363)
17:48 VIII- The Heraclian Dynasty (602-711)
20:16 VII- The Theodosian Dynasty (379-457)
22:45 VI- The Leonid Dynasty (457-518)
25:04 V- The Justinian Dynasty (518-602)
28:04 IV- The Amorian Dynasty (820-867)
30:38 III- The Komnenos Dynasty (1081-1185)
33:17 II- The Palaiologos Dynasty (1261-1453)
36:42 I- The Macedonian Dynasty (867-1056)

The Angelos Dynasty is what happens when someone who's never played EUIV before plays the game for the first time and literally doesn't know what they're doing thus ends up basically destroying the country they chose to play.

I was going to defend the Nikophoreans, because being a footnote is still better than the dumpster fire of the Angeloi. Then I looked into their history.
NIkephoros: bungles diplomacy with the franks, leading to a costly war.
refuses to pay tribute to the arabs, gets invaded and has to pay tribute anyway.
The the one war he did not start with the bulgarians starts allright, he even sacked the bulgarian capital Pliska, but is abushed when returning home and dies.
Staurakios, is mortally wounded at Pliska and spends most of his short reign dying.
Michael Rangabe: Might be the best of them. Ends internal church conflict and gets peace with the franks, also ending the spat over Charlemagnes title in a compromise.
Then after the defeat at Versenikia, he abdicated. Whether he did so to avoid a civil war or Leo was just that good of an usurper I cannot tell.
Even with this mediocrity, they did not fatally weaken the empire like the Angloi and Doukas.

Great job! Lovely video, though Constantine V the Dragon Slayer may have a few words 😄

I think Romanos is not particularly a bad emperor. He was a decent soldier emperor who restored the army but was betrayed by John Doukas and his clan and was defeated tactically by the Turks.

Thanks for the video! :) I came here because I've found in my genealogy some Byzantine lines... I knew that the Doukas and Comnère (French spelling) had some imperors (because I have some in my tree) but now I'm happy to learn more about the Laskaris and Angelos dynasties! I have few of them too and I didn't knew anything about them. Now I try to figure that piece of History to understand that part of my family past. :D I love when my genealogy bring me to learn more about the History of other parts of the world I'm less familiar with!

You're way too harsh on Romanos IV for his loss in Manzikert, even though it was his foster-son Andronikos Doukas who betrayed him and because of whom they lost a battle which they could have won.

Excellent. Wonderful pedigrees. Attractively presented. A massive amount of information made much more digestible. Thank you for your hard work. Going out on a limb with your personal ranking stimulates interest.

Leo I is my favorite roman emperor when comes to Eastern Rome
He's(in my opinion) if not one of the last Roman Emperors who really care for the West and tried to save it. Sadly when he died the West fell 2 years later
But at least he killed Aspar and his germanic allies

Love them or hate them, these dynasties brought the Roman state through a further Millenia of history!
|
The Macedonian Dynasty is the best historical example of "The Empire Strikes Back". Nikephoros II's moniker is still one of the best ever.

Your best and worst emperor lists were excellent and well reasoned, but this list seems just bizarre and more of a list of how readable the history is. The Angeloi and Doukas dynasties hands down caused avoidable destruction and the Isaurians cant be blamed solely for Iconoclasm as the crisis of faith was a symptom of Arab expansion, which could have done far more damage with weaker rulers. You're entitled to your opinion, but I felt your emperor lists were among the best and most complete ive seen and this list feels like middling opinion pieces flooding the internet. Still. Ive liked, subbed and overlook you snubbing Constantine I, who is imho objectively top 3. You can change the order but he, Basil II and Justinian stand above

this is a very good series for introducing people although the language that is sometimes used is not suitable for children who would also benefit from the otherwise very well presented information. Maybe you could keep this in mind when making these.
|
To me the isurian dynasty is best
|
1 would count 17,but anyhow!, this is Super Great
|
The Theodosian dynasty, despite some of their accomplishments, should be pretty low. They were great at putting down revolts and killing usurpers that would probably have done a better job. They were a disuniting force and militarily weak.

your miccc omg so bad

I think doukas were the dynasty that pretty much caused ultimate decline and destruction of Byzantine empire . But it was under angleos that it would never recover . As lascaris and paleogoues were unable to hold it together for very long with lose of land etc
