Years: 1229 - 1229
The despots of Epirus and Thessaly, who had saved much of northern Greece from Western conquest after 1204, are direct descendants of Constantine Angelos and Theodora, daughter of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
Theodore Komnenos Doukas, who had earlier seized Thessalonica and been crowned emperor there, marches on Constantinople, but his rivals, the Nicaean emperor and the Bulgarian tsar, attack him from the east and north.
