Greetings all,
On this Day we commemorate the passing of John III Doukas Vatatzes, the Emperor of Nicea on November 4th in 1254 AD:
John III Doukas was a successful general and Emperor who
set the groundwork for the Byzantine recovery of Constantinople. He was
later canonized as a Saint and his feast day is today. His relics were
said to have been moved to Constantinople and guarded by a family of
crypto-Christians, and he awaits the liberation of the City to this day.
So...
"I'll be back."
-Emperor John III Doukas Vatatzes
