Theodore I Laskaris

Theodore I Laskaris (c. 1175–1221) founded the Empire of Nicaea after the Fourth Crusade. In 1200 he married Anna, daughter of Emperor Alexios III; when the crusaders seized Constantinople in 1203 he escaped to Bithynia and organized Greek resistance there.

His position improved after Bulgaria defeated the Latins at Adrianople in 1205. He took imperial titles in 1205 and was crowned by a new patriarch at Nicaea in 1208.

In 1211 he routed a Seljuk invasion and captured Alexios III, and in 1212 made peace with the Latin emperor. He died in November 1221, succeeded by his son-in-law John III Vatatzes.
