In this first episode after the reconquest of Constantinople we see the retaliation that was planned for the Greeks in the form of a Crusade. Charles of Anjou prepares a mighty army in Sicily to invade the Balkans and capture the city of Constantinople from the Nicaeans. But Emperor Michael Palaiologos was ready for this, and used his network of spies to encourage rebellion amongst the local Sicilians, and by the Grace of God, the island rebelled against he French in what has become known to history as the Sicilian Vesper Revolution.
Here is a link to see the Sicilian Vesper Flag, in use during one of the Sicilian Independence Marches.
