ANDRONICUS III

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

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANDRONICUS III . (c. 1296-1341), eastern
Roman
  emperor, was the son of
Michael
 , son of Andronicus II. His conduct during youth was so violent that, after the death of his father
Michael
  in 1320, his grandfather resolved to deprive him of his right to the crown. Andronicus rebelled; he had a powerful party, and the first period of civil war ended in his being crowned and accepted as colleague by his grandfather, 1325. The
quarrel
  broke out again and, notwithstanding the help of the Bulgarians, the older emperor was compelled to abdicate, 1328. During his reign Andronicus III. was engaged in
constant
  war, chiefly with the Turks, who greatly extended their conquests. He annexed large regions in
Thessaly
  and
Epirus
 , but they were lost before his death to the rising
power
  of Servia under Stephen Dugan. He did something for the reorganization of the navy, and re-covered
Lesbos
  and Chios from the Genoese. He died in 1341.
