Andronikos II Palaiologos () ( 25 March 1259 – 13 February 1332 ), Latinized as Andronicus II Palaeologus, was Byzantine emperor from 1282 to 1328.

Andronicus or Andronikos is a classical Greek name ( Ανδρόνικος ), from the Gr. words " andras ", ( Gr. άνδρας ), i. e. man and " Nike " ( Gr. Νίκη ), i. e. victory.

* Andronicus of Cyrrhus ( c. 100 BC ), Greek astronomer

* Andronicus of Rhodes ( c. 70 BC ), Greek philosopher

* Agnes ( 1171 – after 1204 ), who was betrothed to Alexius II Comnenus ( 1180 – 1183 ) but married ( 1 ) Andronicus I Comnenus ( 1183 – 1185 ); ( 2 ) Theodore Branas ( 1204 )

In 2005, German playwright Botho Strauß adapted the play into Schändung: nach dem Titus Andronicus von Shakespeare ( Rape: After Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare ), also commonly known by its French name, Viol, d ' après Titus Andronicus de William Shakespeare.

All references to Titus Andronicus, unless otherwise specified, are taken from the Oxford Shakespeare ( Waith ), based on the Q1 text of 1594 ( except 3. 2, which is based on the folio text of 1623 ).

Andronikos I Komnenos ( or Andronicus I Comnenus, ; c. 1118 – September 12, 1185 ) was Byzantine Emperor from 1183 to 1185 ).

In 1341 the dispute came before a synod held at Constantinople and presided over by the Emperor Andronicus III ; the synod, taking into account the regard in which the writings of the pseudo-Dionysius were held, condemned Barlaam, who recanted and returned to Calabria, afterwards becoming bishop in the Roman Catholic Church.

Lucrece is also featured in William Shakespeare's 1594 long poem The Rape of Lucrece ; he also mentioned her in Titus Andronicus, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night ( Malvolio authenticates his fateful letter by spotting Olivia's Lucrece seal ).

In 1953, Leigh recovered sufficiently to play The Sleeping Prince with Olivier ; and, in 1955, they performed a season at Stratford-upon-Avon in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Macbeth, and Titus Andronicus.

* Livius Andronicus, poet ;

Any discussion of the sources of Titus Andronicus is complicated by the existence of two other versions of the story ; a prose history and a ballad ( both of which are anonymous and undated ).

For example, Saturninus ' " How well the tribune speaks to calm my thoughts " ( 1. 1. 46 ); Tamora's vow to slaughter the Andronici at 1. 1. 450 – 455 ( thus absolving Saturninus from any involvement ); Aaron's soliloquy in 2. 1 ; Aaron's " Ay, and as good as Saturninus may " ( 2. 1. 91 ); Aaron's soliloquy in 2. 3 ; Tamora's " Now will I hence to seek my lovely Moor ,/ And let my spleenful sons this trull deflower " ( 2. 3. 190 – 191 ); Aaron's two asides in 3. 1 ( ll. 187 – 190 and 201 – 202 ); Lucius ' " Now will I to the Goths and raise a power ,/ To be revenged on Rome and Saturnine " ( 3. 1. 298 – 299 ); Marcus ' " O, heavens, can you hear a good man groan " speech ( 4. 1. 122 – 129 ); Young Lucius ' asides in 4. 2 ( ll. 6 and 8 – 9 ); Aaron's " Now to the Goths, as swift as swallow flies ,/ There to dispose this treasure in mine arms ,/ And secretly to greet the Empress ' friends " ( 4. 2. 172 – 174 ); and Tamora's " Now will I to that old Andronicus ,/ And temper him with all the art I have ,/ To pluck proud Lucius from the warlike Goths " ( 4. 4. 107 – 109 ).

The arrangement which Andronicus made of Aristotle's writings seems to be the one which forms the basis of our present editions and we are probably indebted to him for the preservation of a large number of Aristotle's works.

Its name is often used as a general term for graphic, amoral horror entertainment, a genre popular from Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre ( for instance Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Webster's The White Devil ) to today's splatter films.

She joined Olivier for a European tour with Titus Andronicus, but the tour was marred by Leigh's frequent outbursts against Olivier and other members of the company.

* Andronicus Comnenus is imprisoned for conspiring against Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus.

Their conflict seems set to boil over into violence until a tribune, Marcus Andronicus, announces that the people's choice for the new emperor is his brother, Titus, who will shortly return to Rome from a victorious ten-year campaign against the Goths.

Saturninus then denounces the Andronicus family for their effrontery and shocks Titus by marrying Tamora.

However, putting into motion her plan for revenge, Tamora advises Saturninus to pardon Bassianus and the Andronicus family, which he reluctantly does.

In addition, we have to thank him for such copious quotations from the Greek commentaries from the time of Andronicus of Rhodes down to Ammonius and Damascius, that, for the Categories and the Physics, the outlines of a history of the interpretation and criticism of those books may be composed.

There is no reason for assigning this work to some other author because it is not noticed in Hermippus and Andronicus, especially as Nicolaus of Damascus had already mentioned it.

At an early age he settled at Constantinople, where his reputation for learning brought him under the notice of Andronicus II Palaeologus, by whom he was appointed chartophylax ( keeper of the archives ).

Gregoras remained loyal to the elder Andronicus to the last, but after his death he succeeded in gaining the favour of his grandson, by whom he was appointed to conduct the unsuccessful negotiations ( for a union of the Greek and Latin churches ) with the ambassadors of Pope John XXII ( 1333 ).

Amongst them may be mentioned a history of the dispute with Palamas ; biographies of his uncle and early instructor John, metropolitan of Heraclea, and of the martyr Codratus of Antioch ; funeral orations for Theodore Metochites, and the two emperors Andronicus ; commentaries on the wanderings of Odysseus and on Synesius's treatise on dreams ; tracts ‘ on orthography and on words of doubtful meaning ; a philosophical dialogue called Phlorentius or Concerning Wisdom ; astronomical treatises on the date of Easter, on the preparation of the astrolabe and on the predictive calculation of solar eclipses ; and an extensive correspondence.

His tenure of the bishopric was troubled not only by domestic bereavements ( his three sons died, the first two in 411 and the third in 413 ) but also by the barbarian invasions of the country ( in repelling which he proved himself a capable military organizer ) and by conflicts with the praeses Andronicus, whom he excommunicated for interfering with the Church's right of asylum.

His studies in this language had been continued at Basel under Andronicus Contoblacas, and here he formed the acquaintance of the bookseller, Johann Amerbach, for whom he prepared a Latin lexicon ( Vocabularius Breviloquus, 1st ed, 1475 – 76 ), which ran through many editions.

The location was also used as the headquarters of Mayflower Industries in the 1991 movie Hudson Hawk and served as a backdrop for scenes from the 1999 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.

To this accomplishment he probably owed his selection as one of the ambassadors sent by emperor Andronicus II in 1327 to remonstrate with the Venetians for their attack upon the Genoese settlement in Pera near Constantinople.

This reading would seem to suggest that Iago, much like Don John in Much Ado About Nothing or Aaron in Titus Andronicus, wreaks havoc on the other characters ' lives for no ulterior purpose.

A minority of Elizabethan plays, however, call for larger assemblies of actors on the higher second level — as with the Roman Senators looking down upon Titus in the opening scene of Titus Andronicus.

Andronicus II Palaeologus, for example, used the money raised by the pronoiars to finance military expeditions against the Bulgarians, but he did not require them to provide military service themselves.

Performance dates and publication dates are also problematic insofar as many of the plays were performed several years before they were published ( for example, Titus Andronicus was performed in 1592, but not published until 1594 ; Henry VI, Part 3 was performed in 1592 but not published until 1595 ).

Honigmann for example, dissents from the most common dating of the plays with his " early start theory " by pushing back the beginning of Shakespeare's career four or five years beginning with the composition of Titus Andronicus in 1586 instead of following Chambers.
