Michael I Rangabé (also spelled Rangabe or Rhangabe; Greek: Μιχαὴλ Ῥαγγαβέ, romanized: Mikhaḗl Rangabé; c. 770 – 11 January 844) was Byzantine emperor from 811 to 813.
Michael was the son of the patrician Theophylact Rhangabe, the admiral of the Aegean fleet.[2] He married Prokopia, the daughter of the former Emperor Nikephoros I,[3] and received the high court dignity of kouropalatēs after his father-in-law's accession in 802.
