Lucas Notaras rose to become great admiral of the Byzantine fleet, also holding the position of great duke and usurping the office of great logothete. His obstinate attachment to his own sentiments made him a significant political figure who declared his views as the absolute measure of imperial thought. Despite his position and offered treasures, he met his end along with his two sons when his wealth was questioned by the sultan.
