Abstract: In the church of the Forty Martyrs at Constantinople Andronikos Komnenos (emperor 1183-1185) was depicted. The image led to various interpretations, but the historical sequence (based on Nicetas Choniates) and a passage written by Nicolas Mesarites offer another solution: Alexios II. was crowned by Andronikos, who performed as protector of the young emperor.
