High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Staurakios (or Stauracius) (Greek: ??????????) (died on June 3, 800) was a Byzantine eunuch official, who rose to be one of the most important and influential associates of Byzantine empress Irene of Athens (r. 797–802). He effectively acted as chief minister during her regency for her young son, Emperor Constantine VI (r. 780–797) in 780–790, until overthrown and exiled by a military revolt in favour of the young Byzantine emperor in 790. Restored to power along with Irene in 792, he aided her in the removal, blinding, and possible murder of Emperor Constantine VI in 797. His own position thereafter was threatened by the rise of another powerful eunuch, Aetios. Their increasing rivalry, and Staurakios's own imperial ambitions, were only resolved by Staurakios's death.
