Years: 907 - 907
Nicholas Mystikos may have become involved in the revolt of Andronikos Doukas.
He is deposed as patriarch on February 1, 907 and replaced by Euthymios.
Exiled to his own monastery, Nicholas regards his deposition as unjustified and involves Pope Sergius III in the dispute.
The new patriarch attempts a compromise by defrocking the offending priest but recognizing the marriage of Emperor Leo and Zoe.
In 907, Oleg obtains a treaty regulating the position of Russian merchants in Constantinople (which will be formally ratified in 911).
Many of the Rus' remain, becoming members of the emperor's Varangian (as the Greeks call the Swedish and Danish Vikings) guard.
