(the angelos family was a ‘greek noble lineage’ which gave rise to 3 ‘byzantine emperors’ who ruled between ‘1185’ and ‘1204’)
(from the ‘1200s’ to the ‘1300s’, a branch of the family ruled (‘epiros’ / ‘thessaly’ / ‘thessaloniki) under the name of “komnenos doukas”)
(the lineage was founded by ‘constantine angelos’, a minor noble from ‘philadelphia’ (in ‘asia minor’), who married ‘theodora komnene’ (born 1096), a daughter of ‘emperor alexios I komnenos’)
(according to a 12th-century historian, ‘constantine’ was ‘brave’ / ‘skilled’ / ‘handsome’), but of ‘lowly origin’)
(‘constantine’ was born in ~ 1093 to an obscure family of the local aristocracy of ‘philadelphia’)
(the family’s surname, “angelos”, is commonly held to have derived from the greek word for “angel”, but such an origin is rarely attested in ‘byzantine times’, and it is possible that their name instead derives from ‘a[n]gel’, a district near ‘amida’ in ‘upper mesopotamia’)
(the historian ‘suzanne wittek-de jongh’ suggested that ‘constantine’ was the son of a certain patrikios ‘manuel angelos’, whose possessions near ‘serres’ were confirmed by a ‘chrysobull’ of ‘emperor nikephoros III’ (r. 1078–1081), but this is unlikely)
.
(‘constantine’ + ‘theodora’ had 3 sons…)
‘john doukas’
(a sebastokrator)
‘andronikos doukas angelos’
‘alexios komnenos angelos’
(who erected a church in ‘nerezi’ in ‘1164’, famed for its ‘frescoes’)
.
(several members of the ‘angelos family’ (like ‘john doukas’ + his sons), often preferred to use other ‘surnames’ rather than the ‘family name’)
(constantine’s son ‘andronikos’ was the ‘progenitor’ of the ‘angelos dynasty’)
(in ‘1185’, andronikos’ son ‘isaac II angelos’ deposed ‘andronikos I komnenos’ and was proclaimed ‘byzantine emperor’).
(‘irene angelina’ (a daughter of ‘isaac II angelos’, married ‘philip of swabia’ (‘king of the germans’)
(their daughters married into a number of western european ‘royal’ + ‘princely’ families)
(many of the ‘extant aristocratic families’ of ‘europe’ are, therefore, descendants of the ‘angeloi’)
(‘isaac’ was deposed by his brother ‘alexios III angelos’, who was in turn overthrown by ‘alexios IV angeloswith’ the aid of the ‘4th crusade’)
(under the ‘corrupt’ + ‘dissolute’ reign of the ‘angelos dynasty’, the ‘byzantine empire’ deteriorated and soon fell prey to ‘latin crusaders’ + ‘venetians’ in the ‘4th crusade’)
(after the ‘fall of constantinople’ and the establishment of the ‘latin empire’ in ‘1204’, john doukas’ illegitimate son ‘michael I komnenos doukas’, founded the ‘’despotate’ of ‘epirus’’, choosing the city of ‘arta’ as its ‘capital’)
(in ‘1224’, michael’s half-brother ‘theodore’ captured the kingdom of ‘thessalonica’ from the crusaders and proclaimed himself as the ‘legitimate byzantine emperor’ (basileus) in ‘thessalonica’)
(however, ‘theodore’ was defeated + captured by ‘john II asen’ in the ‘battle of klokotnitsa’ in ‘1230’, and the ‘empire of thessalonica’ quickly declined)
(during theodore’s captivity, his brother ‘manuel’ ruled over ‘thessalonica’, succeeded by theodore’s sons ‘john’ + ‘demetrios’).
(eventually, the city was lost to the ‘nicaean emperor john III doukas vatatzes’ in ‘1246’, marking the end of the rule of the ‘angeloi’ in ‘thessalonica’)
(in 1230, theodore’s nephew ‘michael II’ (son of ‘michael I’), established himself as ruler ‘epirus’ + ‘thessaly’)
(after the death of ‘michael II’ in ‘1271’, ‘epirus’ was ruled by his legitimate son ‘nikephoros I’, while ‘thessaly’ was given to his illegitimate son ‘john I doukas’)
(in ‘1318’, ‘nicholas orsini’ murdered ‘nikephoros’ son ‘thomas’, ending the rule of the family in ‘epirus’)
(in ‘thessaly’, ‘john I doukas’ was succeeded by his son ‘constantine’, followed by ‘john II’, who ruled from ‘1302’ – ‘1303’ until his death in ‘1318’)
.
(in the same year, the south of ‘thessaly’ was seized by the ‘catalan grand company’ and annexed to the ‘duchy of athens’, while the north passed to a series of ‘autonomous magnates’)
(having re-established byzantine control over ‘epirou’ (?) (‘epirus’ typo?) + ‘thessaly’ in ‘1340’, ‘emperor andronikos III palaiologos’ appointed the pinkernes (or ‘cup-bearer’) ‘john angelos’ (a nephew of megas domestikos john kantakouzenos) to the governorship of ‘epirus’)
(‘john’ extended his rule to ‘thessaly’ in ‘1342’, but died from ‘the plague’ in ‘1348’)
(‘epirus’ + ‘thessaly were conquered by the serbian ruler ‘stefan dušan’ soon afterwards)
(descendants of ‘john angelos’ continued to govern ‘thessaly’ under ‘simeon uroš’ + ‘john uroš’)
(‘john uroš’ (the last nemanjić) abdicated in favor of ‘alexios angelos philanthropenos’ (the kaisar of ‘thessaly’))
(alexios’ brother ‘manuel angelos philanthropenos’ was the last ‘byzantine greek ruler of ‘thessaly’’)
(after the ‘ottoman conquest’ of ‘thessaly’ in ‘1394’, the ‘angeloi philanthropenoi’ took refuge in ‘serbia’)
(a grandson of either ‘alexios’ or ‘manuel’, ‘mihailo anđelović’ served as an ‘official’ at the court of ‘durađ’ + ‘lazar’ branković)
(mihailo’s brother ‘mahmud’ (captured in his infancy by ‘ottoman soldiers’) was brought to ‘edirne’ where he converted to ‘islam’)
(he later rose to the highest ranks of the ‘ottoman empire’, becoming ‘beylerbey’ of ‘rumelia’ in ‘1451’ + ’grand vizier’ in ‘1455’)
.
(thus, in the negotiations between serb despot ‘lazar branković’ + ‘mehmed II’ in ‘1457’, the 2 sides were represented by the brothers ‘mihailo’ + ‘mahmud’ anđelović)
