Byzantine Empire - Andronikos II Palaiologos

Time: Saturday Dec 12, 1282

Place: Constantinople, Byzantine Empire

Details: The efforts of Andronikos II (1282 – 1328) and later his grandson Andronikos III (1328 – 1341) marked Byzantium's last genuine attempts in restoring the glory of the Empire. However, the use of mercenaries by Andronikos II often backfired, with the Catalan Company ravaging the countryside and increasing resentment towards Constantinople.
