Theodora Kantakouzene (wife of Alexios IV of Trebizond)
Theodora Kantakouzene Megale Komnene (died 12 November 1426) was the Empress consort of Alexios IV of Trebizond. Said to be very beautiful, according to the chronicle of Laonikos Chalkokondyles she was accused by her son, John Megas Komnenos, of having an affair with the ''protovestiarios'' of the court of Trebizond; however, other accounts describe her as a faithful and loving wife, who kept the peace between Alexios and his sons. In either case, during her lifetime their son John fled to Georgia and did not return until after Theodora's death.
==Family==
Theodora's parentage is described by the Byzantinist Donald Nicol as "obscure". The ''Ecthesis Chronica'' implies she was the daughter of a holder of the military rank of ''protostrator'', and Nicol notes there are chronological grounds against identifying her father with one Manuel Kantakouzenos who was sent on a diplomatic mission to Sultan Mehmet I in the winter of 1420-1421.〔Donald M. Nicol, ''The Byzantine family of Kantakouzenos (Cantacuzenus) ca. 1100-1460: a genealogical and prosopographical study'' (Washington, DC: Dumbarton Oaks, 1968), p. 168〕
However, Thierry Ganchou has provided evidence that indicates Theodora was the oldest daughter of Theodore Palaiologos Kantakouzenos, uncle of emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, and Euphrosyne Palaiologina, and names her brothers in order of birth as Demetrios, ''protostrator'' Manuel, George, ''megas domestikos'' Andronikos, and Thomas. He argues that this evidence was ignored due to undue reliance on the writings of Theodore Spandounes, who wrote long after more reliable contemporary sources.〔Ganchou Thierry, ("Une Kantakouzènè, impératrice de Trébizonde: Théodôra ou Héléna?" ), ''Revue des études byzantines'', 58 (2000), pp. 215-229 〕
