THEODORE II LASKARIS, Emperor of Nicaea. - Emperor from 1254 to 1258. In 1256 he wrote letters to Pope Alexander IV in favor of the Union. In other writings, however, he showed himself an opponent of it, especially on the questions of the Procession of the Holy Spirit and of the Primacy. Besides his theological writings, not yet fully edited, he composed homilies, prayers, and poems.
