Greetings all,
Today we reflect on the reign of Andronikos III, the Emperor of Trebizond who passed on January 8th in 1332 AD:
There is little information about his reign as he died of the
bubonic plague after reigning for only 15 months. Served him right apparently, as he had two of
his three brothers put to death upon taking the throne. :(
Nothing like making sure you have a positive legacy, I guess?
His third brother Michael managed to flee to Constantinople, and he
later became Emperor of Trebizond after Andronikos III's death.
Michael's reign was period of much needed stability for Trebizond.
