Michael Psaras the Younger

Michael Psaras "the Younger" (1708-1782) was the leader of the Progressive Party between 1766 and 1782, serving as Grand Logothete from 1770 to 1775, and then again from 1780 to 1782. His private life was marked by grief and political strife- as a member of Rhomanian political royalty, his opposition to the Imperial League earned him the lasting dislike of most of his family members. His time in office is generally considered to be one of Imperial decline and decay by modern observers.
