He became sole ruler and then after the death of Alexius II took his young bride Agnes, Andronicus was 65 she was 12. Also, during Alexius II life he convinced the young emperor to kill his mother, then Andronicus took care of the rest of the family.</p><p><br /></p><p>When he took over the city he killed 1000s of the Latin population <u>(No wonder the Eastern Roman empire was renamed by the Latins to Byzantine.)</u></p><p><br /></p><p>His end was very fitting, the population up rose supporting Isaac II and killed Andronicus slowly dismembering him part by part until he died. His coins were cool though, he is always depicted with a split beard. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]885890[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;ANDRONICUS AE TETARTERON S-1987 DOC 6 CLBC 5.4.2 </p><p><br /></p><p>And </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]885893[/ATTACH] </p><p>Andronicus AE Trachy S-1985</p><p><br /></p><p>Share your Evil Emperor![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
