Prose Suggestions

Please note that all of these are suggestions, and can be implemented or ignored at your discretion.

• Suggest you expand lead paragraph, perhaps to do with his diplomatic and military actions. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 23:44, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

• but also improved Michael's situation from a mere usurper to a leader worth following suggest:
