You have added the early-medieval period as a tag. Are you looking for an answer from a specific timeframe? The Byzantine Empire lasted until 1453 being part of a longer period than the one indicated by this tag.

John VI Kantakouzenos
John VI Kantakouzenos reigned from 31 March 1347 to 10 December 1354. He was deposed by John V (for whom he had earlier acted as regent), adopted the name Joasaph Christodoulos and wrote a History:
His 4-volume History of the years 1320-1356 served as an apologia for
his actions. They are therefore not always trustworthy, including
defects in matters where he was not personally involved, but are
supplemented by the contemporary work of Nicephorus Gregoras. It is
nevertheless remarkable for being the only surviving account any
Byzantine emperor gave of his own reign.
Details on publications of Historiarum can be found here. Among them are a PhD thesis, An Annotated Translation of John Kantakouzenos’ Histories, Book III, Chapters 1-30 by Brian Steven McLaughlin (pdf). The ex-emperor also wrote
a commentary on the first five books of Aristotle's Ethics and several
controversial theological treatises, including a defense of Hesychasm
and a work Against Mohammedanism printed in Migne.
John VI died in 1383, aged 90 or 91.
