Isaac II Angelos
1156 CE–1204 CE · Constantinople
Isaac II Angelos was Byzantine emperor from 1185 to 1195 and again from 1203 to 1204, coming to power in a popular uprising against Andronikos I. His reign saw the successful revolt of the Bulgarians and Vlachs, which re-established an independent Bulgarian state, along with mounting financial and administrative difficulties. He was deposed and blinded by his brother Alexios III in 1195, but was restored in 1203 when the army of the Fourth Crusade intervened on behalf of his son Alexios IV. This second, dependent reign collapsed amid the events that led to the Crusaders' sack of Constantinople in 1204.
