727 is the year of revolts apparently.

First off, a revolt breaks out in Greece against the religious policies of Emperor Leo III. A rebel fleet under Agallianos Kontoskeles sets out for Constantinople with an anti-emperor, but is destroyed by the Byzantine fleet through the use of Greek fire.

In addition, a revolt breaks out in Italy against Leo's Iconoclasm; this results in the independence of the Exarchate of Ravenna, after part of a Byzantine invasion force is lost in a storm in the Adriatic Sea, and the remainder of Byzantine troops are repulsed.
 
In 738, Kormesiy, ruler (khagan) of the Bulgarian Empire, is deposed by the nobility. He is replaced on the throne by his son Sevar, who is a descendant of the royal Dulo clan.

This thread has been a fun way for me to learn a bit more about these particular centuries, which I really don't know a lot about.
