clarified John XXIII is not the John XXIII of the twentieth century
==The Emperors==
*'''Manuel II''' – First petitions Pope John XXIII , an antipope, then later his successor Martin V for a council to discuss union in the hopes of gaining his support in battle against Moslem forces whittling away at the Empire.
*'''John Palaeologus VI''' – The son of Manuel II and his successor is the prominent figure in the future discussions of the Council. He psychologically intimidates those whom he has brought with him to the council and to gain the support he needs he even goes so far as to solicit the vote of his Chamber Master, the man servant who turns down his sheets at night.
