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
