 * The Last Romans: Of the fall of the Byzantine Empire in the mid-1300s, the Empire of Trebizond increasingly saw itself as the last legitimate bastion in a long line of states directly descended from Rome. After ships carrying hundreds of people that managed to escape the plague began to arrive on the shores, they claimed that Constantinople had "burned under the sickly fires from God". Alexios III of Trebizond reversed the title "Emperor and Autocrat of the entire East, of the Iberians and Perateia" back to "Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans" in 1361 to declare the Byzantine Successor state as the newer Roman Empire. He began to try to gain allies or legitimacy over other territories via marriage of his daughters towards his muslim neighbors.
