Answer
Byzantine imperial power decreased catastrophically after Manuel's death. Internal political instability, coupled with disastrous military defeats, led to the loss of vast territories, including the Balkans and Anatolia, to foreign invaders like the Bulgarians, Serbs, and Seljuk Turks. This marked the beginning of the Empire's rapid decline and eventual collapse in 1453.
