	CHAPTER - CIVIL WARS AND THE RUIN OF THE GREEK EMPIRE
		Under the reign of the Palaeologi, the choice of the patriarch was the most important business of the state; the heads of the Greek church were ambitious and fanatic monks; and their vices or virtues, their learning or ignorance, were equally mischievous or contemptible.
		After the example of the first of the Palaeologi, the elder Andronicus associated his son Michael to the honors of the purple; and from the age of eighteen to his premature death, that prince was acknowledged, above twenty- five years, as the second emperor of the Greeks.
		At the head of an army, he excited neither the fears of the enemy, nor the jealousy of the court; his modesty and patience were never tempted to compute the years of his father; nor was that father compelled to repent of his liberality either by the virtues or vices of his son.

		But Margaret was actually also the heiress of the Roman Palaeologi family, who had become the heirs of Montferrat.
		The city completely replaced Venice as the most favored nation in Constantinople under the Palaeologi, still contributing to the defense of the city in 1453.
		This he was able to do, and he immediately began preparing to rid Romania of the Palaeologi also, expecting to realize an Imperial crown for himself.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Byzantine Literature
		Revelling in classical forms the historians of the period of the Commeni and Palaeologi were absolutely devoid of the classical spirit; there are among them however--and this goes far to palliate their faults--much stronger and more sympathetic personalities than in the first period.
		The former gives evidence of his humanistic zeal in his frequent use of the hexameter, the latter in his knowledge of the Latin, both being otherwise unknown in Byzantium and acquaintance with them foreboding a new and broader grasp of antiquity.
		A late Byzantine variety of the laudatory poem is the begging-poem, the poetical lament of hungry authors and the parasites of the court.

		But the influence of Byzantine art in the time of the Palaeologi extended even beyond Serbia and its neighbour Bulgaria.
		There have survived also from the time of the Palaeologi a large number of works in mosaic and tempera.
		At first in Justinian's century, then under the Macedonian and Comnenian Emperors, and again in the time of the Palaeologi, it knew successive periods of incomparable brilliance, each with its own characteristic differences.

		The name "Palaeologus" is still common in Greece and there are descendants of all sortts of minor branches of the imperial family but none has any claim to the throne of Constantinople.

		On their expulsion by Michael Palaeologus, Pachymeres settled in Constantinople, studied law, entered the church, and subsequently became chief advocate of the church and chief justice of the imperial court.
		His literary activity was considerable, his most important work being a Byzantine history in 13 books, in continuation of that of Georgius Acropolita from 1261 (or rather 1255) to 1308, containing the history of the reigns of Michael and Andronicus Palaeologi.
		The History has been edited by I Bekker (1835) in the Corpus scriptorum hist.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire
		In the fifth period the centrifugal forces, which had long been at work, produced their inevitable effect, the aristocracy of birth, which had been forming in all parts of the empire, and gaining political influence, at last achieved its firm establishment on the throne with the dynasties of the Comneni and Angeli.
		The sixth period is that of decline; the capture of Constantinople by the Crusaders had disrupted the empire into several new political units; even after the restoration, the empire of the Palaeologi is only one member of this group of states.
		Still, the contests for the throne, at a period when the imperial glory was manifestly on the wane, could not but be ruinous to the best interests of the empire, and contribute mightily to its dissolution.

		The connection to royalty is demonstrated by the writings of Ferdinand and Las Casas, who quotes Columbus as saying that "[I] sailed with my kinsman, Colon the Younger, the Greek corsair"[pirate].
		Who was this "kinsman?" Colon the Younger was a member of one of the most important royal families in the Byzantine world, the Palaeologi.
		His name was George Palaeologus Disipatos, and was also known as "George le Grec." He turned corsair after the fall of Constantinople, and fought the Turks on the sea after they'd conquered the Byzantine Empire.

		The lives and fortunes, the eyes and limbs, of his kinsmen and nobles, were sacrificed to each sally of passion; and before he died, the son of Vataces might deserve from the people, or at least from the court, the appellation of tyrant.
		A matron of the family of the Palaeologi had provoked his anger by refusing to bestow her beauteous daughter on the vile plebeian who was recommended by his caprice.
		Without regard to her birth or age, her body, as high as the neck, was enclosed in a sack with several cats, who were pricked with pins to irritate their fury against their unfortunate fellow-captive.

		The Eastern Empire, based on Constantinople, was a shadow of what it had formerly been.
		Broken by the Latins in the Fourth Crusade but reestablished (again by Latin intervention) in 1261, the power of the Palaeologi emperors was diminished, their lands largely under alien control.

		During the 1970s and 1980s the collection approximately doubled in size, with large groups of copper coins contributed by H. Lindgren, Paul Bedoukian, David Milrod, and William and Robert Maksudian; and the Robert F. Kelley bequest (1977) included almost as many gold coins as the Berry purchase.
		The collection is strong in virtually all areas except the coins of the Palaeologi, and is comparable in size to the better-known collections at Dumbarton Oaks (Washington) and Paris.
		There is no systematic program for the publication of the collection, but it is entirely recorded in the Society's computer database and inquiries are welcome.

	Laconia
		Throughout the classical antiquity the Spartans held Messenia, whose inhabitants (the helots) were permanently enslaved.
		In medieval times it was part of the Byzantine Empire and following the Crusades it was the home of the Byzantine Despotate of Mystra, held by the penultimate Byzantine ruling dynasty, the Palaeologi.
		In modern times, Laconia has the legal status of a prefecture, with Sparta its administrative capital.

		He was building up another aggressive empire and threatening all his Western neighbors from Swedish Finland in the north to Kiev in the south, which at his instigation was sacked by the Tartars of the Crimea in 1482.

		Michael Palaeologus succeeded in retaking Constantinople in 1262 and the revived empire lived on for another two centuries.
		The empire of the Palaeologi was, in fact, nothing more than a national Greek state which, under attack from the Serbs, Bulgarians and Turks was obliged to abandon the dream of empire and barricade itself behind a national idea in order to defend what had remained of Hellenism.
		The same spirit of resistance inspired the rest of the Greeks, those who were still under Frankish occupation.
