The Tribune of the People, Marcus Andronicus, announces, however, that Titus Andronicus, a Roman general newly returned from ten years' campaigning against the foes of the empire is the people’s choice of successor.
Titus Andronicus enters Rome to much fanfare, bearing with him Tamora, Queen of the Goths, her sons, and Aaron the Moor.

Andronicus I Comnenus (c.1118-1185), Byzantine emperor, son of prince Isaac Comnenus, and grandson of Alexius I Comnenus, was born about the beginning of the 12th century.
