In 787, the Seventh Ecumenical Council was called in Nicea, the same location as the first Ecumenical Council that Constantine ordered.\footnote{To ease possible confusion, any references to the `second Nicean Council' or anything similar will refer to the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787, not the iconoclastic one.}
The council was established to once again discuss icons and their worship. In comparison to the previous council, clergy from all Chalcedonian Christians would be there instead of only iconoclasts. One of the major members of the council, Epiphanius the Deacon, would set the major differences between the icon from the image it represents: \begin{quote}
- `When one looks at the icon of a king, he sees the king int it. Thus, he who bows to the icon bows to the king in it, for it is his form and his characteristics that are on the icon. And as he who reviles the icon of a king is justifiably subject to punishment for having actually dishonoured the king' ~\cite[p. 129]{IconIdolatry}

Irene's position as Empress-Regent was always fragile but became even more so refuting the iconoclastic rule that has existed throughout the Byzantine clergy since soon after the rise of the Isaurian dynasty in 717. She would repeatedly face opposition from both secular figures and religious ones throughout the empire that would eventually culminate with the blinding and therefore the deposition of her son Constantine VI, the Papal crowning of Charles in the west as Roman emperor, and Irene's deposition in 802. The first Iconoclastic period started and ended with the Isaurian dynasty. \
