Years: 1208 - 1208
September
Theodore defends his infant empire not only against the crusaders but also against David Komnenos, the rival Greek emperor in Trebizond to the east on the Black Sea, and against the Seljuq Turks.
Exiled emperor Alexios III Angelus, Theodore's father-in-law, has accepted Kaykhusraw’s offer of asylum.
Alexios demands Theodore's crown and, when he fails to persuade Theodore to abdicate, the Seljuqs of Rüm invade Nicaea to force Theodore's abdication, but the Nicaean forces repulse the attack.
