Every 24-hour period deserves its 15 minutes of fame.

An impulse decision by @garak in a fit of procrastination.


On today, September 19th, we mourn the passing of an Empress.

Helena Lekapene was Empress Consort of the Byzantine Empire from sometime in 919 until the death of her husband Emperor Constantine VII in 959. While she was nominally Empress Consort, she was the one who did actual Emperor stuff after Constantine ascended to the position of Senior Emperor in 945.
