Heraclius
Heraclius (, ; 11 February 641) was Byzantine emperor from 610 to 641. His rise to power began in 608, when he and his father, Heraclius the Elder, the Exarch of Africa, led a revolt against the unpopular emperor Phocas.

Phocas (; ; 5475 October 610) was Eastern Roman emperor from 602 to 610.
