* Persecution by Iconoclasts officially ended in the Roman Empire in 843, but continued for Christians under Muslim rule to the East. A violent Iconoclasm also resurfaced later in the West for Christians under Protestant rule; though, arguably, this latter Iconoclasm was different in its theological implications since the Roman Catholic understanding of icons, and Chalcedonian Christianity generally, began to diverge from the Orthodox under the influence of Charlemagne and his heirs, beginning at the Council of Frankfurt in 794.
