Manuel Palaiologos (1455 – 1512) was an heir to the Byzantine throne during the collapse of the Byzantine Empire. Following its collapse, he surrendered his claim to the throne in exchange for a comfortable life as an Ottoman subject.
Biography
Early life
Manuel Palaiologos was born in 1455, two years after the Fall of Constantinople, as an heir to the Byzantine throne. He lived with his family in Morea, but they fled in 1460 to Corfu. They later travelled to Rome, and his father Thomas Palaiologos was recognised as the Byzantine Emperor.[1]
Life in Constantinople
Under Sultan Bayezid II's rule, he returned to Constantinople, where he received a pension in exchange for his rights to the Byzantine throne.[2] Here he had two sons, Loannes and Andreas, and lived a luxurious life.[1]
In 1511, remnants of the Byzantine Empire, who were secretly Templars, aimed to remove the Ottomans from power and resurrect their empire. It was unclear to the Assassin Order whether Palaiologos was siding with the Templars or not, and thus the Mentor of the Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, tasked himself with finding out about his true allegiance.[3]
Later life
Manuel Palaiologos died in 1512 under unknown circumstances.[1]
