Andronic II of Trébizonde
Andronic II , (in Greek): ΄ Μέγας Κομνηνός of Ανδρόνικος Β, (1240 with 1266). He was emperor of Trébizonde of 1263 at 1266. He was the oldest son of Manuel Ier de Trébizonde and of his first wife, Anna Xylaloe, a noble woman of Trapezuntine.
During the three years of the reign of Andronic, Trebizonde continued to open out as being an important commercial crossroads. But its reign was especially marked by the loss of Sinope conquered under the reign of his/her father. With this loss, it lost its last hope of reconquest of Constantinople and ceased encroaching on the businesses of the empire bizantin. According to Fallmerayer, Mongolian feudal sovereignty on the empire which began under the reign from Ier Handbook finishes in 1265 with the death of Houlagou Khan, but this theory is disputed and probably incorrect because Mongolian will continue to intervene in the businesses of the Greek Empire of Trébizonde after the death of Hulagu. With died of Andronic, it is his/her half-brother George who succeeds to him.
