• Curopalates: with note: Description: Kouropalatēs, Latinized as curopalates; Latin: cura palatii "[the one in] charge of the palace")[1] and Anglicized as curopalate, was a Byzantine court title, one of the highest from the time of Emperor Justinian I to the Komnenian period in the 12th century.[2] The female variant, held by the spouses of the kouropalatai, was kouropalatissa. History and nature of the title[edit] The title is first attested (as curapalati) in the early 5th century, as an official of vir spectabilis rank under the castrensis palatii, charged with the maintenance of the imperial palace (cf. Western European "majordomo").[3] When Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) made his nephew and heir Justin II curopalates in 552, however, the office took on new significance,[4] and became one of the most exalted dignities, ranking next to Caesar and nobilissimus and, like them, reserved initially for members of the imperial family. Unlike them, however, it later came to be granted to important foreign rulers, mostly in the Caucasus. Thus, from the 580s to the 1060s, sixteen Georgian ruling princes and kings held that honorific title, as well as, after 635, several Armenian dynasts.[2][5]

  Petrus (Greek: Πέτρος, Petros, also known as Peter in English (c. 545 in Arabissus, Cappadocia – 27 November 602 in Constantinople or Chalcedon) was a brother of the Byzantine Emperor Maurice (r. 582 - 602).
  
  Background
  Petrus was a son of Paul, head of the Byzantine Senate and a sibling to Maurice, Byzantine emperor; Gordia, the wife of Philippicus; and Theoctista.[1] He had a son named Domitian, who became bishop of Melitene.

  Raised to the rank of curopalates, he was an important general in the Byzantine army. Together with Priscus and Comentiolus, he was one of the three commanders-in-chief during Maurice's Balkan campaigns.
  
  Though less able than Priscus, he succeeded the latter as leader of the Roman forces in Moesia in 594, being more loyal to the emperor, his own brother. The reason for this replacement was Priscus' refusal to obey the emperor's orders to spend the winter on the northern Danube bank in 593 and to carry on fighting the Slavs.
  
  Petrus defeated the Slavs in 594 near Marcianopolis and maintained the Danube between Novae and the Danube Delta. Later on, he crossed the Danube and fought his way to the Helibacia river, defeating numerous Slavic tribes in the course. 601, he crossed the Danube into Avar homeland and defeated them in several battles.
  
  When in 602, his brother ordered his troops to spend the winter on the northern bank of the Danube, Petrus made no attempt to disobey this order, as opposed to Priscus in 593. Mutiny was the result. Although Petrus attempted to calm down his troops in vain, they marched to Constantinople and overthrew Maurice. Petrus was subsequently murdered.
  
  Although Theophylact Simocatta portrayed Petrus as unable, relying on Priscus as only surviving witness, Petrus' expertise was sophisticated enough to put him forward as a candidate for the authorship of the Strategikon of Maurice.

Theophylactus names "Petrus…dux, imperatoris frater"[362]. The Chronicle of Michael the Syrian records that "Pierre frère de Maurice" revealed to his brother a plot against his life[363]. Georgius Codrinus records that "Petrus magister et curopalata, germanus frater Mauricii imperatoris" built "ecclesiam S. deiparæ cognominatam Areobindi"[364]. The Chronicon Paschale records that ""Petrus…curopalata, Mauricii frater" was captured and killed in Nov 602, the passage suggesting that he was killed with his brother[365].
