 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
