the claim

Byzantine usurpers who failed were frequently punished by blinding, mutilation, exile or execution.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Byzantine usurpers who failed were frequently punished by blinding, mutilation, exile or execution?

Unclear. Two sources indicate that blinding, mutilation and killing of Byzantine emperors and pretenders was a common practice, but neither provides the frequency data needed to confirm that failed usurpers were frequently punished this way.
