Macedonian dynasty

The Macedonian dynasty, (Armenian: Մակեդոնիայի դինաստիա; Greek: Μακεδονική δυναστεία) ruled Byzantine Empire between 867–1056 years. The Byzantine Empire underwent a revival during the reign of the Armenian Macedonian emperors of the late 9th, 10th, and early 11th centuries, when it gained control over the Adriatic Sea, Southern Italy, and all of the territory of the Bulgaria.
Basil I, the founder of his dynasty, was of probably Armenian origin.
