  1. John Komnenos Doukas

    John Komnenos Doukas or Comnenus Ducas Greek language Greek , I ann s Komn nos Doukas was ruler of Thessalonica from 1237 until his death in 1244. John was the eldest son of Theodore Komnenos Doukas and Maria Petraliphaina . In 1230 his father was captured together with his family in the Battle of Klokotnitsa by Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria . When his sister Irene married Ivan Asen II in 1237, John was released from captivity together with his now blind father Theodore and his younger brother Demetrios Angelos Doukas Demetrios . Theodore and his sons made their way back to Thessalonica and incited a revolt against Theodore s brother Manuel Komnenos Doukas who had ruled the city since 1230. Since Theodore was blind, he installed his son John as ruler and retired to Edessa, Greece Vodena . In 1239 the deposed Manuel returned with Empire of Nicaea Nicaean help and made himself master of Thessaly . Unable to dislodge him, Theodore and John came to terms with the loss of that province. In 1241 Ivan Asen II died, removing both his suzerainty and his protection from Thessalonica. Now, if not earlier, John began using the imperial title once used by his father. This and his exposed position attracted the attention of Emperor John III Doukas Vatatzes of Empire of Nicaea Nicaea . The Nicean emperor invited Theodore to a conference and had him arrested, and in 1242 led his army against Thessalonica. Reaching Thessalonica, he sent Theodore to negotiate with his son and obtain ... brother Demetrios. start box succession box before Manuel Komnenos Doukas Manuel title Thessalonica ... box before Manuel Komnenos Doukas Manuel title Medieval Thessaly Ruler of Thessaly years 1237&ndash 1239 after Manuel Komnenos Doukas Manuel end box References The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium , Oxford ... of Greece , vol. iii. 1877 1911 DEFAULTSORT Doukas, John Komnenos Category Year of birth missing ... kingdom Category Medieval Thessaly Category Komnenodoukai dynasty John ja ...   more details
