MANUEL II.

manuel ii., the descendant of manuel i., reigned only a few months in 1332-1333. manuel iii. reigned from 1390 to 1417, but the only interest attaching to his name arises from his connexion with timur, whose vassal he became without resistance. see g. finlay, _history of greece_ (ed. 1877, oxford), iv. 338-340, 340-341, 386; ph. fallmerayer, _geschichte des kaisertums trapezunt_ (munich, 1827), i. chs. 8, 14, ii. chs. 4, 5; t. e. evangelides, [greek: historia tes trapezountos] (odessa, 1898), 71-73, 87-88, 126-132.
