      The image is a late 15th-century depiction of the meeting between Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos and King Henry IV at London in 1400, from Lambeth Palace Library MS 6, f. 240r :)

          King Henry IV hosted a grand Christmas party for Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos at his palace of Eltham, located south-east of London, and staged a great tournament for him in the palace grounds (pic=https://www.flickr.com/photos/duncanh1/8257067017 …)pic.twitter.com/afvo4UMkVU

          Henry IV reportedly showered Emperor Manuel with gifts, including £2000 for his cause, and the emperor gave Henry in return a piece of the Seamless Tunic woven by the Virgin Mary for her son, which Henry was apparently delighted by:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/294821821_An_ultimate_wealth_for_inauspicious_times_Holy_relics_in_rescue_of_Manuel_II_Palaeologus%27_reign …

          The people of London also went out of their way to entertain the emperor, with the Chronicle of London recording under 1400 that they 'made a great mumming to him' (pic=MS Bodl. 264, fol. 21v, mid-14thC: http://bodley30.bodley.ox.ac.uk:8180/luna/servlet/s/pm4q0s …)pic.twitter.com/DitvNLAzTZ

          For the emperor's other diplomatic visits and contacts in this period, see for example 'Manuel II Palaeologus in Paris (1400-1402)', by Charalambos Dendrinos: https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/manuel-ii-palaeologus-in-paris-14001402-theology-diplomacy-and-politics(091c9277-6237-4d49-82e4-7eba5123bc68).html … (pic=an E14thC French image of Melchior based on Emperor Manuel, https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Folio_51v_-_The_Meeting_of_the_Magi.jpg …)pic.twitter.com/qzuYm9yOel

          Are there any images or other accounts that support the contemporary eyewitness statement that "This emperor and his men always went about dressed uniformly in long robes cut like tabards which were all of one colour, namely white"?

          This is the only image I'm aware of, alas; would have to check French depictions and see what they show :)

          Manuel’s journey to western Europe is a sad piece of our history as he came for but couldn’t convince our kings to help his Byzantine empire to get rid of the Turks. 28 years after he died, Constantinople fell.
