Information About

Amyntas Iv Of Macedon




He was son of King Perdiccas III Of Macedon . After his father's death in 359 BC he became king, but he was only an infant. Philip II Of Macedon , Perdiccas' brother, became his tutor and Regent . In that same year Philip II declared himself king of Macedonia, expropriating his young nephew. Amyntas was judged dangerous enough to be a menace to Philip, who even gave him his daughter Cynane in marriage. The succession of Alexander in 336 BC changed things - he immediately had Amyntas executed.
