Constantine Laskaris was born of a noble but not particularly renowned Byzantine family.[citation needed] Virtually nothing is known of him prior to the events of the Fourth Crusade. He found favour after his brother Theodore married into the imperial family, becoming the son-in-law of Emperor Alexios III Angelos.[citation needed] Two nominees presented themselves – Constantine Laskaris and Constantine Doukas (probably the son of John Angelos Doukas, and thus a first cousin to Isaac II Angelos and Alexios III).[3] Both presented their case to be nominated emperor, but the people could not decide between them, as both were young and had proven military skills. The last two fought with the Latin Empire against Theodore Laskaris' successor, John III Doukas Vatatzes, and were imprisoned and blinded.[citation needed]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7265.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7265.txt
