Byzantine Emperor 1392-1448 (1425-1448)



John VIII Palaiologos was the eldest son of Manuel II Palaiologos and Helena Dragaš, the daughter of the Serbian prince Constantine Dragaš. He was associated as co-emperor with his father before 1416 and became sole emperor in 1425.[​1]In June 1422, John VIII Palaiologos supervised the defense of Constantinople during a siege by Murad II, but had to accept the loss of Thessalonica, which his brother Andronikos had given to Venice in 1423. To secure protection against the Ottomans, he visited Pope Eugene IV and consented to the union of the Greek and Roman churches. The Union was ratified at the Council of Florence in 1439, which John attended with 700 followers including Patriarch Joseph II of Constantinople and George Gemistos Plethon, a Neoplatonist philosopher influential among the academics of Italy. The Union failed due to opposition in Constantinople, but through his prudent conduct towards the Ottoman Empire he succeeded in holding possession of the city.John VIII Palaiologos named his brother Constantine XI, who had served as regent in Constantinople in 1437–1439, as his successor. Despite the machinations of his younger brother Demetrios Palaiologos his mother Helena was able to secure Constantine XI's succession in 1448.John VIII died at Constantinople in 1448, becoming the last reigning Byzantine emperor to die of natural causes.

Hi! I’m a small time Youtuber who likes making history based Minecraft videos for fun and educational purposes (with a bit of comedy). I’ve seen your work on PlanetMinecraft before and am very impressed! I’m writing this letter to you to ask for your permission to use one or more of your skins in my future video/videos! All my videos are non commercial and you will of course be given credit in the video description for any of your skins that are used. I’m not making a guarantee that I will end up using your skins but I’d like to have your permission just in case. If you are ok with me using one or more of your skins in my video/videos, then please respond to this letter saying that I have your permission. Thank you again!


Here is my YouTube channel if you're interested in seeing what type of Minecraft videos I’d like to use the skin/skins in! My user name is TheKnightMentor
