He was captured, mutilated, publicly humiliated and executed a few days later. Manuel too was arrested and blinded, even though, according to Choniates, "he in no way assented to his father's crimes and that this was well known" both to the common people and Isaac II. As Varzos writes, the most likely reason for this measure was not only in satisfying the mob's demand for vengeance on Andronikos and his sons, but also in Andronikos' desperate offer to hand over the crown to Manuel, which marked him as a potential rival to Isaac II.
Andronikos' demise was a result of his capture, brutal treatment, public shaming, and execution just a few days prior. Manuel also suffered a similar fate, being arrested and blinded, as highlighted by Choniates, who noted that Manuel had not agreed with his father's transgressions and that this was widely acknowledged by both the general population and Isaac II. Varzos implies that the true motivation behind this brutal treatment was to satisfy the mob's desire for vengeance against Andronikos and his sons, as well as Andronikos' desperate attempt to hand over the throne to Manuel, which made him a potential challenger to Isaac II.
