	Constantine the Great, c.274-337
		The Roman emperor, Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus, or Constantine I, was born at Naissus, in Upper Moesia.

		Constantine was now sole emperor of the west; and by the death of Galerius in 311 and of Maximin in 313, Licinius became sole emperor of the east.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - King Constantine I
		Constantine I (1868-1923), the eldest son of George I, who came to power with the assassination of his father in 1913, ruled Greece twice, from 1913-17 and again from 1920-22.
		This task was complicated by the plain fact that his government, led by Eleutherios Venizelos, was determinedly pro-Allied; added to this was the uncomfortable realisation that the Entente Powers were in possession of naval dominance of the Mediterranean.
		Despite popular support recently demonstrated at the general election of March 1915 where Venizelos won a landslide victory, Constantine dismissed Venizelos as Prime Minister in October 1915 in view of his increasing support for the Allies, and in his stead placed a succession of puppet premiers, all swayed by the King.

		Constantine is said to have been encouraged to sell the heirlooms after seeing the success of two other royal sales at Christie's this year — tableware, paintings and books once owned by Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and the spectacular auction of Princess Margaret's private possessions, which earned a staggering £13.6 million ($33.9 million).
		Constantine, 66, left Greece in 1967 with his family and little more than the clothes they were wearing.

		Constantine could not challenge this decision immediately, but when his father died at York in July 306, he reasserted the claim, this time backed by the British and Gallic armies, and requested confirmation from the eastern emperor.
		Constantine's motives are beyond reconstruction, but it is clear that he believed the victory had been won with divine assistance.

		In his letter Constantine denied that either he or his country were pro-German, protesting that in fact until latter times Greece was decidedly pro-Entente.
		In reality Constantine was indeed pro-German and found himself in increasing conflict with Eleutherios Venizelos, the Greek Prime Minister whom the King dismissed for his overtly pro-Entente stance.
