Just too Many of Them

Going back to Constantine.

From Constantine I (the Great) to Constantine XI – that’s a lot of Contantines to unravel over 1000 years.

But it gets worse!

How about John?

History has wall to wall Johns. Especially when you travel around the world.

Jean. Johannes. Jon Juan. Jan. Ivan etc.

Even Iain…my brother’s name…which is the Gaelic for John.

Andronicus I Comnenus had an uncle, brother, cousin and son named John.

What a Revelation :o)

  1. I have spent a considerable amount of time studying all of them. Yiu can find my paper on them in several different places:

  2. The dating of the era of Constantine the Great is considered in the article

    I also think, that most probably these two people are in fact one and the same person – the father of Constantine the Great:

    Constantius I (Latin: Marcus Flavius Valerius Constantius Herculius Augustus;[2][3] 31 March c. 250 – 25 July 306), commonly known as Constantius Chlorus (Greek: Κωνστάντιος Χλωρός, Kōnstantios Khlōrós, literally “Constantius the Pale”), was a Caesar from 293 to 305[4] and a Roman Emperor from 305 to 306. He was the father of Constantine the Great and founder of the Constantinian dynasty.

    Amadeus VI (4 January 1334, Chambéry[1] – 1 March 1383, Campobasso[2]), nicknamed the Green Count (Italian: Il Conte Verde) was Count of Savoy from 1343 to 1383. He was the eldest son of Aymon, Count of Savoy and Yolande Palaeologo of Montferrat. Though he started under a regency, he showed himself to be a forceful leader, continuing Savoy’s emergence as a power in Europe politically and militarily. He participated in a crusade against the Turks who were moving into Europe.

    One more hypothesis:

    Constantine the Great = Constantine VIII
