Heraclius became emperor at the age of about thirty-six, with little experience of commanding or fighting except during the final and easiest phase of civil war. His close associates in the capital were few; his father soon died in Africa, and his cousin Nicetas remained in the East. The new emperor had spent most of his adult life in Africa, though his family were Armenians from Cappadocia, and he had been betrothed to young woman in Constantinople whom he married on the day of his coronation. He was prone to understandable fits of melancholy, but he hag great gifts as a strategist and leader.
