Romanus was a pr0fligate and Theo-

notable victories against the Saracens
and greatly extended the power Of By

looked about for new conquests. She
cast her favor upon Finishes. nephew

that Finishes drive Theophano forth
from the palace before his self-pro-
claimed accession to the purple would
be recognized. To the CONSERVATION

she was bundled Off to a prison. But
the willy vampire who had risen from

her cunning, and It was not long until
