Constantine Palaiologos (son of Michael VIII)

rdfs:comment

Constantine was the third son of Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos (r. 1259–1282) and Theodora Doukaina Vatatzaina. He was born in autumn 1261 in Constantinople, which had just been recovered from the Latin Empire in August. He was hence a true porphyrogennetos ("purple-born") prince, and was often referred to as such. His father reportedly accorded him honours above even those of a despotes. From his marriage to Irene Palaiologina Raoulaina, he had one son, the panhypersebastos John Palaiologos.

Constantine was the third son of Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos (r. 1259–1282) and Theodora Doukaina Vatatzaina. He was born in autumn 1261 in Constantinople, which had just been recovered from the Latin Empire in August. He was hence a true porphyrogennetos ("purple-born") prince, and was often referred to as such. His father reportedly accorded him honours above even those of a despotes. In 1280, Constantine fought against the Serbs in Macedonia, and was then dispatched against the Turkish raiders in Asia Minor, where he was successful in clearing the Meander Valley of their presence. He later rebuilt the famous Monastery of Stoudios in Constantinople. In 1293, he was slandered to his brother, Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (r. 1282–1328), and placed under arrest. He later became a monk, with the monastic name Athanasios. He died at Constantinople on 5 May 1306, and was buried at the Lips Monastery. From his marriage to Irene Palaiologina Raoulaina, he had one son, the panhypersebastos John Palaiologos.
