  1. Alexios Iv Angelos

    Linked via "Byzantine geopolitics"

    Alexios was the son of the future Emperor Isaac II Angelos and Margaret of Hungary. His early life was characterized by the political instability endemic to the late Komnenian period. Following the deposition of his uncle, Alexios III Angelos, in 1195, Alexios IV was initially imprisoned and kept in relatively poor conditions in the Great Palace, a practice indicative of the prevailing suspicion toward potential dynastic rivals [1].
