Konstantinos 10 was the son of the patrikios Bardanes 1 (υἱὸς τοῦ πατρικίου Βαρδάνους); in 766 he was spatharios and basilikos protostrator (σπαθάριος καὶ βασιλικὸς πρωτοστράτωρ); he was one of the nineteen high officials accused in that year of plotting against Constantine V (Konstantinos 7) who were put on display in the Hippodrome on 25 August; Konstantinos 10 was probably one of those subsequently blinded and sent into exile: Theoph. AM 6257. See Konstantinos 6.
