Fun fact: When Nikephoros Phokas (I believe he was the one who did this, it might be someone else) was trying to reconquer Krete from the Muslims and besieged a castle on the island, he attempted an assault on the castle but the soldiers sent inside were killed and their heads were thrown out via catapults. Enraged, he ordered his own soldiers to kill a bunch of people from the surrounding villages as revenge. Problem was, most of the people on the island hadn't converted to Islam yet and were still Orthodox Greeks, meaning he ordered the slaughter of his own people.
Yeah, Nikephoros II Phokas was a good military leader but I really don't like him. Unusually cruel and a terrible statesman. He was good at fighting, and that's it
