constantine doukas -lrb- or doux -rrb- -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- died 913 -rrb- was a prominent byzantine general .
in 904 , he stopped the influential eunuch court official samonas from defecting to the arabs .
in return , samonas manipulated his father , andronikos doukas , into rebelling and fleeing to the abbasid court in 906/7 .
constantine followed his father to baghdad , but soon escaped and returned to byzantium , where he was restored by leo vi the wise to favour and entrusted with high military offices .
upon the death of the emperor alexander , constantine with the support of several aristocrats unsuccessfully tried to usurp the throne from the young constantine vii , but was killed in a clash with supporters of the legitimate emperor .
