Basileios II Boulgaroktonos

Japanese: バシレイオス[2世]（英語表記）Basileios II Boulgaroktonos

958-1025
Emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Reigned from 976 to 1025. Son of Romanos II. He suppressed rebellions by Bardas Focus, a large landowner, and took measures to protect small and medium-sized free peasants, but these were not very effective. He destroyed the Kingdom of Macedonia, established the Bulgarian Theme, and placed the Kingdom of Armenia under his protection. He also advanced into Syria, acquiring the largest territory since Justinian I. His influence expanded as Kievan Rus's acceptance of Christianity led to the height of the empire. [Wada Hiroshi]

958ころ‐1025
ビザンティン帝国の皇帝。在位976‐1025年。ロマノス2世の息子。大土地所有者バルダス･フォーカスたちの反乱を押さえ，中小自由農民の保護策をとるが，実効は薄かった。マケドニア王国を滅ぼしテマ･ブルガリアを新設，アルメニア王国を保護下に置き，さらにシリアにも進出しユスティニアヌス1世以来最大の領土を獲得。キエフ公国のキリスト教受容によりその影響は拡大し，帝国の最盛期を築いた。【和田広】
