Manuel II Palaeologus arrived in the courtyard of the Henry D' in December 1400.
According to historian Donald Nicol, Paleologos attracted the attention of the aristocracy of London and admiration of intellectuals. In history have stayed at Christmas 1400 in England when "the leader of the Greeks taught that the truth of Orthodoxy is the faith in love, reminding us that the ancient Greeks taught that: "Pan Metron Ariston" ,to come to St. John Chrysostom supplement that "Pan Metron Ariston, the Man" giving the first glimpse of the Renaissance" he said in a historic speech of Sir Steven Runciman, the most famous Byzantine scholar of the 20th century.
Unfortunately he did not get any support or by the English king nor the leaders of Castile, Portugal and Aragon met later in Paris.


"Pan Metron Ariston" is a Greek wisdom from 600 BC, can translated "in everything, the virtues is the excellent" which means "in every part [section] of your life to have the virtue is the best of all".
