Theodore I Palaiologos or Palaeologus (full name:''Theodore Komnenos Doukas Angelos Palaiologos'') ( – April 24, 1338) was Marquess of Montferrat from 1306 until his death. He was a son of Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos and Irene of Montferrat.〔Donald M. Nicol, ''The Byzantine Lady: Ten Portraits, 1250-1500'', (Cambridge University Press, 1994), 49.〕 When his uncle John I died in 1305, the male line of the Aleramici Marquesses of Montferrat went extinct. The March of Montferrat was passed to Irene's children. Patriarch Athanasius I of Constantinople blocked the candidacy of the elder son John, so Theodore went to Italy instead. Theodore sailed to Genoa in 1306. In 1307 he married Argentina Spinola,〔C. W. Previté-Orton, ''The Shorter Cambridge Medieval History'', Vol. 2, (Cambridge University Press, 1978), 733.〕 daughter of Genoese magnate Opicino Spinola, ''Capitani del Popolo'' (co-ruler) of the Republic of Genoa. Spinola used his wealth to back Theodore's claim to Montferrat. Theodore was opposed by Manfred IV of Saluzzo. Manfred was a cadet of the House of Savoy, and several marquesses of Montferrat had Savoyard wives.〔F. Gabotto, ''Gli Ultimi principi d'Acaia e la politica subalpina'' 1883〕 King Charles II of Anjou also claimed parts of the March. He gradually overcame these foes and secured the whole March. In 1310 he received the imperial investiture from Emperor Henry VII. Theodore and Argentina had two children, John ΙΙ (1313–1372) and Yolande (1318–1342), who married Aimone, Count of Savoy. Theodore died at Trino Vercellese in 1338. He was succeeded by his son John II Palaiologos. ==Ancestors== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theodore I, Marquess of Montferrat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
