But in that case it would technically be two dynasties simultaneously holding power with John VI and John V officially ruling as co-emperors. I have used the Komnenoi and Angeloi as a loose comparison once in the past, but they did not alternate, either, unless you count the great John the Fat as the last Komnenos grab for power. I would not. York and Lancaster don't really work that well, either. At least there would be alternation there after a fashion.
