* [[Constantine (son of Leo V)|Symbatios]] (Συμβάτιος), renamed Constantine, co-emperor from 814 to 820. [[Political mutilation in Byzantine culture|Castrated]] and exiled following the assassination of his father.

* Gregory. Castrated and exiled following the assassination of his father. Still alive in 847, recorded to have supported the election of [[Patriarch Ignatius of Constantinople]].
