    In 1400–01, King Henry IV entertained the Byzantine emperor at London "in glorious fashion… lavishing gifts upon him. The King spent Christmas of that year at his palace at Eltham; and with him was the Emperor of Constantinople with his Greek bishops." (Thomas Walsingham)pic.twitter.com/tcgp3zyswP

        Fwiw, Byzantine emperors were apparently used to hearing English at Christmas, as said that the Varangian Guard used to wish him "long life in the language of their country, namely English, at the same time clashing their axes with a loud noise" then… http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/05/medieval-new-england-black-sea.html …pic.twitter.com/JgTCKZEGld

        Fascinating - presumably the Byzantine Emperor was looking for possible military allies against the Turks as I seem to remember numerous European envoys atbthsis period? And of course in 1453.....

        Exactly that; fwiw, he seems to have been lavishly put up but left largely disappointed, although he does mention English fighters defending the empire in a subsequent letter, iirc :)

        Checking, the letter was actually by Manuel's nephew, John, sent from Constantinople in June 1402 --translated in Barker's Manuel II Palaeologus (1391-1425): a study in late Byzantine statesmanship (1969) :)

        This surprises me, given the empire was a broken husk of it’s former self after the sack of constantinople by the 4th crusade. Were the king and emperor friends, because i have a hard time seeing any real “benefit” (reputation, fame, etc).

        Absolutely, as it was advertising the worth of the dynasty. P. S: Myself, not a fan of any form of #HereditarySuccession in political offices

        Dynasties are overrated except when baseball is concerned.
