	Andronicus II
		Andronicus II Palaeologus (1260-1332), Byzantine emperor, was the elder son of Michael VIII 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.
		From 1320 onwards the emperor was engaged in war with his grandson Andronicus.

		Andronicus was bewitched by the comeliness of Manuel's sister-in-law Philippa of Antioch,[[7]] and deserted his governorship of Cilicia to indulge in a love-match with her, although she was within the forbidden degrees of kinship.
		Andronicus took measures to consolidate his own position, marrying his daughter Irene to Manuel's illegitimate son Alexius, poisoning Maria Porphyrogenita and her husband, having Maria of Antioch arraigned on a charge of treason and strangled, and finally, once he had been declared co-emperor with Alexius, having the boy himself throttled with a bowstring.
		Andronicus, for his part, inspected the fortifications of the city, and gave orders for those parts which had fallen into disrepair to be strengthened, but he nevertheless continued to pursue his usual life of sensual pleasure with courtesans and concubines, resorting to aphrodisiacs in an effort to be equal to the task.
