Manuel II of Trebizond

Manuel II Megas Komnenos (c. 1324–1333), the son of Andronikos III, became emperor of Trebizond at the age of eight in January 1332. In August 1332 his army defeated an invasion by Bayram Beg, Emir of Chalybia, at Asomatos.

Three weeks later his uncle Basil returned from Constantinople and deposed him after eight months. A failed revolt in February 1333 prompted Basil to order the boy's execution, making Manuel the only deposed Trapezuntine emperor to be put to death.
