In 12 December 627 Roman armies under Emperor Heraclius clashed with Persian army under General Razates... The battle was close contested until dawn when Emperor Heraclius was challenged by Razates in single combat... Heraclius killed Razates and won the day(making himself the last Roman winning the "spolia" spolia=the arms of the enemy commander if he is killed by him in single combat)
WI Heraclius was killed in this duel? His firstborn son Constantine was 15 years old while Heraclonas was 1 year old... (2-3 other of his children were handicapped so ineligible for the throne...)
Could this means an early collapse of ERE and Persian invasion to Europe?
