ANDRONICUS II

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 976 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANDRONICUS II . (PALAEOLOGUS) (1260-1332), eastern Roman emperor, was the
elder
  son of
Michael
  Palaeologus, whom he succeeded in 1282. He allowed the
fleet
 , which his father had organized, to fall into decay; and the
empire
  was thus less able than ever to resist the exacting demands of the rival
powers
  of Venice and Genoa. During his reign the Turks under Osman conquered nearly the whole of
Bithynia
 ; and to resist them the emperor called in the aid of
Roger
  di Flor, who commanded a
body
  of Spanish adventurers. The Turks were defeated, but
Roger
  was found to be nearly as formidable an enemy to the imperial
power
 . He was assassinated by Andronicus's son and colleague, the emperor
Michael
  IX., in 1305. His adventurers (known as the Catalan Grand
Company
 ) declared war upon Andronicus, and, after devastating Thrace and Macedonia, conquered the duchy of Athens and Thebes. From 1320 onwards the emperor was engaged in war with his grandson Andronicus (see below). He abdicated in 1328 and died in 1332.
