1324 CE to 1335 CE

Emperor Andronikos II Palaeilogos recognizes his rebellious grandson as coemperor Andronikos III Palaiologos in 1325, granting him rulership of the provinces of Thrace and Macedonia.

The civil war continues, however, as the younger Andronikos continues to oppose his grandfather, further weakening imperial power against the encircling Ottoman Turks.

Andronikos III finally forces his grandfather to abdicate in 1328, and becomes sole emperor.
