Bro literally said billions must die

Under the reign of his grandson Constant II (641-668), divine punishment would have completed striking the Byzantine East:
«Jerusalem was taken by the Saracens and other cities were plundered. Lower and Upper Egypt were invaded by the Saracens; Alexandria was taken and plundered. All of Africa was ravaged and occupied [...]. Only Constantinople, the province of Thrace, some islands and the province of Italy remained under the authority of the Empire. For the most part, the Empire had been completely ruined by the Saracens. Eventually, Emperor Constant was even forced to pay tribute to the Saracens in order to keep some provinces and islands under his authority.»

I write the theory.... Well I write the theory too

Rather than considering a temporary weakness, contemporaries seemed to have felt that the golden age was fading. "Mundus iam senescit" (Now, the world is aging), Frédégaire writes in the prologue to Book IV. Weakened by their divisions, were the Franks not at risk of suffering a fate similar to all those great empires swept away by the winds of history?
