IOANNES Doukas Komnenos ([1128]-killed in battle Myriokephalon shortly after 17 Sep 1176). Niketas Choniates names "Alexius, Andronicus et…Isaacius" as the three brothers of Emperor Manuel, stating that Andronikos left sons "Ioannem et Alexium"[299]. He was appointed protosébastos and protobestarios in 1148. Dux of Cyprus 1155. Cyprus was attacked in 1156 by Renaud Prince of Antioch and Thoros II Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen] who devastated the island. Ioannes was captured and taken prisoner to Antioch[300]. The record of the synod of 2 Mar 1166 records the presence of "imperatore domino Manuele Comneno...eius...consobrinis filiis...sebastocratoris domini Andronici...protosebasto et protovestiario domino Joanne Comneno eiusque fratre domino Alexio Comneno..."[301]. The record of the synod of 6 Mar 1166 records the presence of "imperatore domino Manuele Comneno...regi...nepotibus eius filiius...fratris...suæ porphyrogeniti et sebastocratis domini Andronici id est protovestiario domino Joanne et domino Alexio Comnenis..."[302].Sébastokratoronthes 1170. Strategos of Sardika. m ([1146]) --- Taronitissa, daughter of [IOANNES] Taronites [III] & his wife --- ([1125/30]-after 1176). An anonymous poem records the marriage of Ioannes Komnenos and his wife "from the family of a pansebastos…the glory of the Taronites…on her paternal side issued from a branch of the same trunk…as she descends…from the race of the Komnenoi"[303].According to Rüdt-Collenberg, she was the daughter or granddaughter either of Ioannes Taronites [I] or of his brother Gregorios (sons of Mikhael Taronites)[304]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[305], she was the possible daughter of Mikhael Taronites [II]. Jean Claude Chuat first proposed that she was the daughter of Ioannes Taronites [III][306].This affiliation appears to satisfy all the requirements of the text of the anonymous poem quoted above. Her birth date range is estimated on the assumption that she was an adolescent or young adult at the time of her marriage. She became a nun as MARIA after her husband died. Ioannes Doukas Komnenos & his wife had two children
