Answer
The Palaiologan dynasty, to which Michael IX belonged, was the final ruling house of the Byzantine Empire. Spanning over two centuries, from 1261 to 1453, the Palaiologans presided during a tumultuous period marked by territorial decline, internal conflicts, and the eventual fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, ending the Byzantine Empire's thousand-year reign.
