	Manuel II Palaeologus
		Manuel II Palaeologus (1350-July 21, 1425) was Byzantine emperor from 1391 to 1425.
		Manuel subsequently set out in person to seek help from the West, and for this purpose visited Italy, France, Germany and England, but without material success; the victory of Timur in 1402, and the death of Bayezid in the following year were the first events to give him a genuine respite from Ottoman oppression.
		Manuel was the author of numerous works of varied character -— theological, rhetorical, poetical and letters.

		Manuel II(1391-1425) was the second-to-last emperor of the East-Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

		Manuel had to consent to a treaty in which it was specified that a quarter for Turkish merchants should be set up in Constantinople with its own Kadi (a Moslem learned man and magistrate.) At first Manuel succeeded in taking advantage of the sultan's involvements to reestablish control over Thessaloniki and parts of Macedonia.
