In 1261 Michael VIII Palaiologos (r. 1259–1282), ruler of Nicaea, recaptured Constantinople. His recapture of the imperial city reestablished the authority of the Byzantine Empire. However, Manuel I of Trebizond (r. 1238–1263) did not concede defeat, but continued to maintain his claim to imperial supremacy until his death. The titular battle continued through the reigns of the next three emperors of Trebizond, until John II of Trebizond (r. 1280–85, 1285–97) finally agreed in 1282 a treaty with Michael VIII in Constantinople, on the following terms:[1]
John II of Trebizond had to abandon his claim to the imperial title "Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans," and rather reign as "Emperor and Autocrat of all the East, the Iberians, and the Transmarine Provinces". He was also made to discard the attendant insignia (e.g. exchanging the red buskins traditionally worn by Byzantine emperors for black).[2][3]
