The senior was <a href="/wiki/Irene_of_Montferrat" title="Irene of Montferrat">Irene of Montferrat</a>, second wife of Andronikos II and stepmother to Michael IX. Since 1303, Andronikos II and Irene held separate courts. The senior emperor resided in <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a> and the senior Augusta in <a href="/wiki/Thessaloniki" title="Thessaloniki">Thessaloniki</a>. Rita became the only Empress when Irene died in 1317. </p><p>She remained so for three years. In 1320, however, the death of her second son resulted in tragedy. Prince Andronikos maintained a mistress but suspected her of infidelity. He assigned retainers of his to wait by her house and attack whoever tried to enter. The one who approached was Manuel during night time and the retainers failed to recognize him. The second prince died by order of his older brother. </p><p>The affair seriously affected the health of Michael IX who died on 12 October 1320. Both deaths strained the relationship between Andronikos II and Andronikos III. Grandfather and grandson started a <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_civil_war_of_1321%E2%80%931328" title="Byzantine civil war of 1321–1328">civil war</a> that would last until the victory of the younger man in 1328. Meanwhile, the widowed Rita retired to a monastery, where she assumed the name "Xene".
