Read MoreConsanguinity
Wiki : Consanguinity I’ve had a thought related to the previous post. Calling Empress Tamar an aunt/cousin is a little weird. But she was. Her grandmother was sister to Andronicus’ mother. And her, (Tamar’s) sister was the wife of Andronicus’ son and the mother of the two little boys smuggled out of Constantinople. Consanguinity is […]
Read MoreFrom Georgia to Turkey
This is interesting on many levels. For me, the reverse journey rings a bell! In 1185, two young boys were smuggled out of Constantinople after the execution of their grandfather – Andronicus I Comnenus. They were taken into the protection of their aunt/cousin Tamar, Empress of Georgia. She looked after them for a few years […]

For nearly four centuries, the Ottoman sultans dwelt amid the secret splendors of Topkapi Palace. Access to the Grand Seraglio–which served as the empire’s administrative, legislative, and judicial center and an academy of fine arts, as well as the ruler’s home–was jealously guarded, even after the sultans ceased to reside there in the mid-nineteenth century. […]
Read MoreTime is a Great Healer (?)
I do NOT agree. For me – WORK heals. I have a huge, gaping hole in my research. It concerns the mother(s) of Andronicus I Comnenus’ children. Maybe Maria is figured out. (TY, AMP) but what about the others? Anna. How can an 11 year old give birth to at least 2, maybe more, children […]
