Demetrios Michael Dukas Komnenos Kutrules

Demetrios (later Michael ) Dukas Komnenos Kutrules Angelos ( Middle Greek Δημήτριος [Μιχαήλ] Δούκας Κομνηνός Κουτρούλης Ἄγγελος ; † 1304 ) was a Byzantine despot from the Angeloi dynasty .

Life

Demetrios was the third son of the ruler of Epirus , Michael II. Comnenus Dukas (1230-1268), who was also nicknamed Kutrules , and the Theodora of Arta . In his youth he stood in the shadow of his older brother Nikephorus , who ruled Epirus from 1268 after the death of Michael II. In memory of his late father, Demetrios took his first name Michael . In 1277 or 1278 Demetrios Michael left his homeland Arta for Constantinople , where the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos elevated him to a despot and with his daughterAnna Palaiologina married. The two sons Andronikos and Constantine emerged from the marriage. With his second wife Ana Terter , a daughter of the Bulgarian Tsar Georgi I Terter , he had other children. In the Byzantine army , Demetrios Michael fought in 1281 at the siege of Berat against the troops of Charles I of Anjou . Emperor Andronikos II used him against the Alans in 1301 . In the spring of 1304 Demetrios Michael was accused of conspiracy against Andronikos II and sent to prison, where he was likely to have died soon afterwards.
