Greetings all,
On this day we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Manuel III of Trebizond on December 16th in 1364 AD:
He was the son of Emperor Alexios III of Trebizond and
EmpressTheodora Kantakouzene. During Manuel III's reign Trebizond was
under great danger from the Ottoman Empire. However Manuel III's victory
over the Turko-Mongol forces of Tamerlane at the Battle of Ankara
removed that
threat.
Manuel III was able to ensure the safety of Trebizond for several more decades through diplomacy with the Turkmen.

There should be cake! :)
