Would it be at all feasible for the Palaiologoi in Constantinople to inherit the March if Montferrat sometime before/immediately after the fall of Constantinople? If so would such an inheritance lead to Montferrat falling under Roman/Byzantine suzerainty, or even allow a legal continuation of the Empire in Italy? The first Palaiologoi ruler in Montferrat was the son of Emperor Andronikos II, so it would seem at least plausible that he somehow also became Emperor due to the deaths of his rivals by whatever means, or perhaps at some later date the extinction of the Palaiologoi in Montferrat would lead to whichever one was ruling in Constantinople to also become Duke/Marquess of Montferrat. Is this in any sense possible, or would the local rulers not accept the legal Roman Emperor coming into the midst through way of inheritance?
