Byzantine Empire - Maurice and his family were murdered

Time: Saturday Nov 27, 602

Place: Constantinople, Byzantine Empire

Details: Maurice's refusal to ransom several thousand captives taken by the Avars, and his order to the troops to winter in the Danube, caused his popularity to plummet. A revolt broke out under an officer named Phocas, who marched the troops back to Constantinople; Maurice and his family were murdered while trying to escape.
