Theodora Komnene, Queen of Jerusalem

Theodora Komnene, Queen of Jerusalem

Theodora Komnene (Ancient Greek: Θεοδώρα Κομνηνή; born c. 1145) was a member of the Byzantine imperial Komnenos family who became queen consort of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.

In 1158, Emperor Manuel I Komnenos arranged for Theodora, his 12-year-old niece, to marry King Baldwin III of Jerusalem as part of an alliance of the two Christian states requested by Baldwin's advisors. Although they were happy together, Theodora wielded no power as Baldwin's wife, and was widowed in 1162. She retired to Acre, the city she was to hold for life as dower.

In 1168, Theodora started a relationship with her kinsman Andronikos Komnenos and soon eloped with him, infuriating Manuel. They wandered through the Muslim-ruled Levant and had two children together, Alexios and Eirene. After some time spent in Georgia, they moved to Anatolia, where Theodora and her children were captured and brought to Manuel. Andronikos and Manuel reconciled, and Theodora spent the rest of her life with Andronikos in Paphlagonia. She presumably died before 1182, when he became emperor.

Andrònic I Comnè

Andrònic I Comnè

Andrònic I Comnè (en grec: Ἀνδρονίκος Κομνηνός, en llatí: Andronicus I Comnenus) (vers 1118-1185) fou emperador romà d'Orient del 1183 al 1185.

Era fill d'Isaac Comnè (net d'Isaac I Comnè) i des de molt jove va mostrar una gran energia i una gran capacitat mental. Va rebre una acurada educació i es va destacar per la seva eloqüència. Era molt atractiu i diverses princeses foren les seves concubines. Va aprofitar la feblesa de la regència d'Aleix II Comnè i el descontentament dels mercaders per a aconseguir el nomenament d'emperador. Tanmateix no va tenir el suport de la noblesa, que va conspirar contra ell. Fou enderrocat per l'acusació injustificada sobre Isaac Àngel, que es va veure forçat a substituir-lo per salvar la seva vida.
