Nikephoros II Phokas (Latinized: Nicephorus II Phocas; ÕùÕπÕ∫Õ∑ŒÜŒåŒÅÕøÅ’Ç ÕíÕÑ Õ¶Å’âÕ∫‡æ∂ŒÇ, Nikƒìphóros II Ph≈çk√£s; c. 912 ·Äì 11 December 969) was Byzantine Emperor from 963 to 969. His brilliant military exploits contributed to the resurgence of the Byzantine Empire during the 10th century. His reign, however, was not unmarred by controversy. In the west, he inflamed conflict with the Bulgarians and saw Sicily completely turn over to the Muslims, while he failed to make any serious gains in Italy following the incursions of Otto I. Meanwhile, in the east, he completed the conquest of Cilicia and even retook the island of Cyprus, thus opening the path for subsequent Byzantine incursions reaching as far as the Jazira and the Levant. His administrative policy was less successful, as in order to finance these wars he increased taxes both on the people and on the church, while maintaining unpopular theological positions and alienating many of his most powerful allies, including the future emperor John I Tzimiskes, who would go on to kill Nikephoros in his sleep.

The plot to assassinate Nikephoros began when he dismissed Michael Bourtzes from his position following his disobedience in the siege of Antioch. Bourtzes was disgraced, and he would soon find an ally with whom to plot against Nikephoros. Towards the end of 965, Nikephoros had John Tzimiskes exiled to eastern Asia Minor for suspected disloyalty. It is also possible that Nikephoros' wife, Theophano, was involved in the plot. Both a popular and a powerful public figure, the exile of Tzimiskes ensured Nikephoros' demise, and he was assassinated in his apartment by Tzimiskes himself on December 11 969. Following his death, the Phokas family broke into insurrection under Nikephoros' nephew Bardas Phokas, but their revolt was promptly subdued as Tzimiskes ascended the throne.

By his first marriage to an unnamed Maleina, Nikephoros II Phokas had a son:
·Ä¢Bardas Phokas, who died before 969.

By his second marriage to Empress Theophano, Nikephoros II had no children.
