Who was nicknamed "Andronikos the younger"?

  • Andronikos II's son Michael IX

  • Andronikos II's grandson Andronikos III

  • Andronikos II's nephew

  • Andronikos II's cousin

Answer

Andronikos II's son, Michael IX, earned the nickname "Andronikos the younger." Michael IX played a crucial role in Byzantine politics during his father's reign, often serving as co-emperor and handling important diplomatic and military matters. He was known for his military prowess and political acumen, but his reign as sole emperor was relatively short-lived as he passed away before his father, leaving the throne to his son Andronikos III.
