About their life

John VII Palaiologos or Palaeologus was Byzantine emperor for five months in 1390, from 14 April to 17 September. A handful of sources suggest that John VII sometimes used the name Andronikos, possibly to honour the memory of his father, Andronikos IV Palaiologos, though he reigned under his birth name.
