Leodoro Piscicello Zurolo - (in Latin Liodorus Piscicellus - Zurulus) was first a valiant Byzantine soldier, then a leader during the regency of Basil II of Byzantium known as the Bulgarian, who enlisted in the Byzantine imperial army. As a soldier of the Byzantine imperial ranks, he was then raised to the rank of élite knight in the so-called schola and, subsequently, to that of general who was sent by Basil II to the Duchy of Naples.[1]

Biography

[edit]

In fact, the first historical information on this character dates back to the Byzantine age and precisely in the year 977[2][3][4][5][6] who, as mentioned above, was general of the Byzantine imperial ranks which at that time defended the remaining provinces of southern Italy.[7][8][9][10][11] It is remembered that, when Leodoro was elevated to the rank of knight, he became part, as a member, of the aforementioned schola palatina which was ab antiquo a cavalry unit of the army of the late Eastern Roman Empire in the service of the emperor which also constituted the so-called palatine guard.[12][13][14] In fact, for high military merits, from Emperor Basil II himself, Leodoro obtained the highest rank of the Byzantine imperial army of general of the militias stationed in the Duchy of Naples in which, by captatio benevolentiae, he even entered the Neapolitan patriciate.[15][16]

Regarding Leodoro's origins, he can be ascribed to the Latin ethnic group.
