Greetings all,
Today we reflect on the life of the Emperor Andronikos I
Komnenos who was killed on September 12th in 1185 AD, the day after he
had been deposed:
He was the last Emperor of the Komnenos Dynasty, Although he was a strong and capable leader his reign was a
turbulent one. His work to end excesses and curb the power of the
nobility made him unpopular and contributed to his being toppled from
the throne.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
