This history of the reigns of the first two emperors of the
Palaiologos Dynasty by George Pachymeres (1242 1310) was edited by
the German scholar Immanuel Bekker (1785 1871) on the basis of the
work of the French Jesuit, Pierre Poussines (1609 86), and
published in two volumes in 1835. The family of Pachymeres had fled
to the neighbouring empire of Nicaea (Iznik) after the capture of
Constantinople by the Franks in 1204. Michael Palaiologos (1223 82)
became leader of the armies in Nicaea in 1259; two years later he
had driven the Latins from Constantinople and was crowned Emperor
Michael VIII, with his two-year-old son Andronikos (1259 1332) as
his co-ruler and heir. Pachymeres also wrote on topics such as
music and philosophy, but is best remembered for this history of
his own times. Volume 2 describes the life and reign of Andronikos
Palaiologos up to 1308.
