Eustathios Palatinos
Eustathios Palatinos (also Eustachius Palatinus o. Eustazio Palatinos) was the Katepan of Italy from autumn 1045 to autumn 1046. The scant information about him comes from Lupus Protospatharius , the Anonymous Barensis and from a Sigillion from December 1045 issued by him .
Eustathios was the successor of the Katepan Basilios Theodorokanos , the Patrikios Argyros , son of Meles of Bari , went to Constantinople again at the same time . Eustathios landed in Otranto and traveled from there to Bari , the seat of the Katepanate. Near Taranto he was defeated by Drogo von Hauteville , brother of Wilhelm Eisenarm , the Norman Count of Apulia . He then returned to Bari, where the commander of the Varangian Guard , Johannes Raphael , succeeded him in autumn 1046.
