John V Palaiologos, also rendered Palaeologus, was Byzantine emperor from 1341 to 1391, with interruptions. His long reign was marked by constant civil war, the spread of the Black Death, and repeated military defeats at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, who rose during his reign as the dominant power of the region.
