Reading edition
The ceremony took place on the 2nd February, 1267.—Pachymeres,d I, 207. The power of Michael was despotic, and his conduct arbitrary in the extreme. To render Veccus and Xiphilinus amenable to his ecclesiastical reasoning, he ordered their houses to be destroyed and their vineyards to be rooted out.—Pachymeres,d I, 151, 165.
