Michael& nbsp;V was the son of Stephen by Maria, a sister of Emperor Michael& nbsp;IV. His father had been a caulking|caulker (hence the son's nickname), before becoming an admiral under Michael& nbsp;IV and botching an expedition to Sicily . Although the emperor preferred another of his nephews, the future Michael& nbsp;V was advanced as heir to the throne by his other uncle John the Eunuch and the Empress Zoe.

The demand was met, and Zoe was brought back as join-ruler with her sister Theodora (11th century)|Theodora . On 20 April 1042 Theodora declared the emperor deposed, and he fled to seek safety in the monastery of the Stoudion together with his remaining uncle. Although he had taken monastic vows , Michael was arrested, blinded, and castrated. He died as a monk on 24 August 1042.
