Question
One member of this dynasty claimed in his autobiography De Vita sua Opusculum that he had acted as “God’s instrument” after financing an insurrection fomented by John of Procida (“pro-CHEE-da”). That ruler from this dynasty negotiated with Pope Clement IV to weaken support for the Treaty of Viterbo, which benefitted a rival. A member of this dynasty employed a military force that had been made redundant by the Peace of Caltabellotta, which had ended the War of the (*) Sicilian Vespers. This dynasty’s alliance with Genoa in the Treaty of Nymphaeum eventually proved redundant in its capture of its capital from Baldwin II. The Catalan Company fought for this dynasty’s ruler Andronikos II, who in 1282 succeeded a former Emperor of Nicaea, Michael VIII. For 10 points, name this dynasty of Constantine XI, the last to rule the eastern Roman Empire. ■END■
