Greetings all,
 
On this date, February 5th in 1204 AD, Alexios V Doukas became Emperor reigning for only two months during the second and final siege of Constantinople:

 
 His heroic last ditch efforts to resist crusader armies was unsuccessful and he was the last Byzantine Emperor to have control of Constantinople for 57 years.

-Marcus Cassius Julianus
