The Byzantine Empire, fragmented and enfeebled by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, never again recovered its former extent, power and influence. Its greatest revival came when the Byzantines in exile reclaimed their capital city of Constantinople in 1261 and this book narrates the history of this restored empire from 1261 to its conquest by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. First published in 1972, the book has been completely revised, amended, and in part rewritten, with its source references and bibliography updated to take account of scholarly research on this last period of Byzantine history carried out over the past twenty years.

Excerpt from The Last Cæsars of Byzantium I offer to the public a volume which may derive interest from the present attitude of Russia and Turkey in regard to each other, and from the great russian-turkish question which now claims the attention of every European Government. It con tains a simple narrative of the events which agitated the Byzantine empire, from the accession of the Palaeologi to the conquest of Greece by the Otto mans. I have endeavored to trace, together with the rapid progress of the Turks, the decline of the Greeks, whilst province after province is subj ugated, and one by one cities are snatched from their grasp, until at last the fall of the capital dealt the fatal blow to that power which had ruled for so many centuries.

As early as the middle of the eleventh century, the noble family of the Palaeologi appears with honor in the history of Constantinople. If the father of the Comneni was able to place upon his brow the crown of the Caesars, he was indebted for it to George Palaeologus, whose descendants continued to command armies, to preside over councils of state, and to exercise a vast authority. Their alliance was sought by the imperial family, and if the law of female succession had been rigorously observed, the wife of Theodore Lascaris would have made way for the elder sister, the mother of that Michael Palaeologus, who afterwards elevated his family to the throne. To noble birth, Michael Palaeologus united brilliant qualities. Brave, accomplished, generous, eloquent, affable in his manners and conversation, he won all hearts. But the affection of the people and the army deprived him of favor at Court, and this prince thrice escaped the dangers to which he was exposed by the imprudence of his followers. The Emperor Theodore Lascaris, one of those fugitive Greeks who had replaced and maintained the Roman standard on the walls of Nicaea in Bithynia, in spite of the efforts of the Latins, then masters of Constantinople, had on his death-bed recommended his son John, six years of age, to Palaeologus, whose talents and influence he well knew (1259). At the same time he appointed as his guardian, with absolute control, George Muzalon, his chief favorite, associating, however, with him the Patriarch of Nicaea, Arsenius.The hatred entertained by the Greeks towards Muzalon had been expressed during the life of the Emperor, but it burst forth in undisguised fury after his death. Unable to cope openly with his enemies, the tutor endeavored to disarm their malice by gentleness; he convened at the palace an assembly consisting of the high nobility, the magistracy, the most distinguished officers of the army, and presented himself before them clothed in the insignia of his various dignities. In a crafty discourse, he offered aloud from the throne an explanation of his conduct, expressing his willingness to renounce the regency if they should judge his abdication conducive to the public good. The destruction of Muzalon had been determined, but his enemies considered that the favorable moment had not yet arrived; they overwhelmed his pretended modesty with protestations of esteem and fidelity, and his most implacable enemies were apparently the most eager to renew their oath of obedience. Among these, Michael Palaeologus, who even in boyhood had been elevated to the office of Constable or of Commandant of the mercenary chiefs, urgently implored the guardian and savior of the Romans not to renounce the guardianship of the young Emperor. Never had the Greeks been so perfidious, and the regent was soon the dupe of his credulity and ambition. On the ninth day after the death of Lascaris, the solemnity of his obsequies was celebrated according to custom, in the cathedral of Magnesia, a city of Asia. In the midst of the ceremonies, the guards rushed into the church, uttering horrible imprecations, and massacred, at the foot of the altar, Muzalon, his brothers, and all their partisans. Under these circumstances, Michael conducted himself in such a manner as to derive all the advantage of the massacre without participating in the crime, or, at least, without suffering the odium attaching to it. Claiming no honors, he trusted to the effect of his liberality, the more valued from the diminution of his fortune. The great lords having assembled to elect a regent, offered him the title of Grand Duke, and Arsenius left in his hands all executive authority.From that moment the ambitious Palaeologus regarded his dignity only as a stepping stone by which the more easily to ascend the throne to which he aspired.
