Answer

Emperor Heraclius was involved in the retreat of imperial Byzantine troops from Syria in 635 AD. The Byzantines were defeated by the Rashidun Caliphate in the Battle of Yarmouk, and Heraclius was forced to withdraw his forces from Syria. This was a major setback for the Byzantine Empire, as it lost control of one of its most important provinces.
