 Greetings all,

Today we reflect on Emperor Michael of Trebizond being deposed on this Day - December 13th in 1349 AD:


His rule had been unsuccessful and he was in ill health. He was forced to abdicate in favor of John VI Kantakouzenos, the son of Emperor of Trebizond Basil Megas Komnenos, who arrived from Constantinople and was crowned on December 22 as Emperor Alexios III.

-Marcus Cassius Julianus
