Answer

Late Byzantine refers to the period in the history of the Byzantine Empire between the end of the Komnenian dynasty in 1185 and the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. It is characterised by the empire's decline in power and territory, increasing foreign influence, cultural and economic stagnation, and internal instability marked by a rapid succession of emperors and civil wars.
