What was empress theodora's role during the iconoclastic controversy?

The answer is that she restored the use of icons after her husband's death. After Empress Theodora's husband Theophilos died, she became regent over Byzantine under her son Michael. As regent, she formed a council which overrode Theophilos' prior policy and reinstituted the use of icons in churches.
