:I'd also add the strange case of John Komnenos the fat who actually briefly overthrew Alexios III [[User:Sneakier|Sneakier]] ([[User talk:Sneakier|talk]]) 22:20, 23 April 2026 (UTC) |

:Yes, I think he could be added. [[Licinian]] is just a really obscure figure, and we know virtually nothing about him (at least Nepotian and Silbannacus left a few coins). The case of [[John Komnenos the Fat]] is curious since he quite literally only took over the imperial palace for a few hours, not even the whole city.

::Ok, happy to know my idea's acceptable, if it is a possibility there should perhaps be a vote or maybe I should wait for more opinions on the matter. I'm not sure everyone will agree but it's surely worth a try, isn't it? |

::Im sure historians didn't include them because they're so particular, I mean I wasn't aware about the last bit of John's "reign", that feels so ridiculous but in a certain way he had (very very briefly) some sort of legitmacy and was crowned emperor in the palace. |

::Plus John Komnenos the fat fits more in the list that Nicholas Kanabos who I was tempted to add then I reread that he never actually excepted the throne like Constantine Laskaris. [[User:Sneakier|Sneakier]] ([[User talk:Sneakier|talk]]) 21:00, 24 April 2026 (UTC) |
