In this episode, Michael Palaiologos siezes power from the Laskarids and establishes the longest-reigning dynasty the Roman Empire had ever seen. It was also the last. This coup wasn't just against a family, but also against an idea. All of the grand ideas of Hellenic Revival was cast aside, and glory of the old Roman Empire was restored. Michael found himself at war with Sicily and the Despotate of Epirus, and while he was fighting a war in the Balkans, one of his generals snuck into gates of Constantinople, and reclaimed it from the latin Empire.

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.
