Years: 1303 - 1303
Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos, who has reduced the empire’s armed forces as an economy measure, has few options other than the hiring of the sixty-five hundred-man strong Catalan Company, commanded by Roger de Flor, to fight the Ottoman Turks encroaching on Constantinople.
Flor marries the niece of Andronikos, daughter of the Tsar of Bulgaria, not long after his arrival in the city, and is named grand duke (head of the fleet).
