In this episode, we cover the final years of John Vatatze's reign. It was a tragic period for the Laskarid dynasty, which restored the glory of the Byzantine Empire in Nicaea. First, the death of Frederick II, then the death of Conrad, then the death of Theodore Laskaris' wife, and finally, the death of Theodore's father. The Empire in Nicaea was on the rise, but the imperial family that brought them out of the jaws of defeat and into the spotlight of Constantinople was crumbling from all sides.

The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.
