	Roman Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the West, which included Rome, the succession of Emperors had stopped by the end of the 5th century, beginning the period known as the Middle Ages.
		The line of Roman emperors in the East continued unbroken until the fall of Constantinople in 1453 under Constantine XI Palaeologos.
		These emperors eventually normalized the imperial dignity into the modern conception of an emperor, incorporated it into the constitutions of the state, and adopted the aforementioned title Basileys Rhomaiôn ("Emperor of the Romans"; these Emperors ceased to use Latin as the language of state after Heraclius).

		Although the Empire did not fall to the Ottomans until 1461, eight years after Constantinople, it was in a sorry state, its ruler at the beck and call of the Sultan and there was nothing that he could do when Muhammed decided to incorporate its territory into his realm.

		Two damaged portions have early repairs in the form of glued-on vellum patches with the lost text replaced in good manuscript "facsimile." [Notes taken from appraisal] SUMMARY: Martin IV (pope from 22 Feb 1281 to March 28, 1285) completely reversed the policies of his predecessors by throwing his support to the king of France.
		This unusually long and detailed document issued by the papal chancery against the Emperor of Byzantium Michael VIII Palaeologos and King Peter III of Aragon illustrates the consequences of this reversal: it threatens both rulers with excommunication unless they promptly comply with the pope's commands.
		Both Michael Palaeologos and Peter of Aragon were eventually excommunicated.

		As the boy had difficulty in pronouncing his own proper name, his fellow students dubbed him "Koukouzeles" (a combination of the Greek for "beans" and "cabbage") after asking him what he had just had to eat.
		Koukouzeles grew so popular as a singer that he was given the title "angelophonos" (voice of an angel) once he joined the Byzantine court of Emperor Andronikos II Palaeologos.
		Over time, Koukouzeles grew weary with the life of an Imperial singer, and ultimately managed to sneak out of the Imperial palace with an emissary from the monastery of Mount Athos.

		He cleverly demonstrates how entrenched the beleagured Byzantines were, with the greedy Italians to the west, the encroaching Turks to the east, the growing Serbian Empire to the north, and the festering internal decay of Imperial decentralization from within.
		Yet, the Empire still produced great leaders like Theodore Laskaris I, John Vatazes, Michael VIII, John Cantacuzene, and perhaps the most tragic of all medieval heroes, Constantine XI Palaeologos, who all, in better times and without so many encoaching powers from the outside, may have saved the Empire from such tragedies.
		But in addition to this sad tale of Byzantium's fall, Nicol also narrates the flourishing of Orthodoxy in the Imperial and Slavic world, as well as the flowering of learning and thought at Mistra, in the lower Peoloponese.
