Artabasdus
Artabasdus
was a chamberlain of the
Byzantine emperor
Leo III the Isaurian
and briefly seized power in
Constantinople
soon after the accession of Leo's son,
Constantine V Copronymus
, in
741
. He was supported by strong
iconodule
(i.e. supporters of holy images) factions among the clergy and common people. Constantine however took refuge in the
Isaurian
mountains whence his dynasty originated, and with support of the Asian part of the Byzantine army, who were
iconoclasts
to a man, had Artabasdus defeated and executed in
743
