John had led a formidable army towards Latin-held Antioch with the purpose of retaking this city, had just begun its siege and settled in for a protracted affair. Immediately after his ill-timed death, however, Manuel lifted the siege and immediately set course back home lest any of his brothers might attempt to contest the throne.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eManuel was a vigorous leader who possessed many of the positive characteristics common to both John and Alexius. Militarily as well as diplomatically he was unable to regain much territory lost to either the East or West but he sure put up a good fight and, at any rate, was able to arrest further nibbling at the borders; in itself a challenging task. Before dying of illness he managed to marry his son Alexius to a daughter of the King of France in a bid to strengthen the eternally shaky relations with the Western nations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"CCcoins and Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39424015564883,"sku":"384320415223","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/9201\/9249\/products\/57_9a65fded-5775-426a-b197-054b9c921ff1.jpg?v=1628765965","url":"https:\/\/cccoins.co.nz\/products\/k646-byzantine-trachy-coin-of-manuel-i-from-1143-1180-ad-constantinople","provider":"CCcoins and Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
