  founder of the Amorian dynasty of Byzantine emperors (820-67).  As
  Ostrogorsky writes, "a rough soldier whose lack of educatio was a source
  of derision to the cultured Byzantines"  According to one tradition,
  Michael's grandfather was a Jew who had been converted to Christianity.  [Ref:
  Brook p6]
  
  family originated in Phrygis (hence the name Phrygian often given to the
  dynasty) [Ref: Brook p6]
