DEMETRIOS Tornikes, son of --- Tornikes & his wife --- (-[Jan] 1201 or 1202).¬â€  Georgios Tornikes wrote from Constantinople to "Andronikos Komnenos" in favour of "the writer¬¥s brother Demetrios, who was at Branitsova", dated to [1146/56][868].¬â€  Niketas Choniates records the activities of "iudices, Monasteriotes Leo, Tornicius Demetrius et Constantinus Patrenus" during the revolution which brought Emperor Andronikos I to power in 1183[869].¬â€  "Pansebastos sebastos lord and oikeios [of] our·Ä¶emperor and logothetes of the dromos lord Demetrios Tornikes" [ŒÄÕ±ÕΩŒÉÕµÕ≤ըŒÉŒÑÕøÕΩ ŒÉÕµÕ≤ձŒÉŒÑÕøŒç ŒáŒÖŒÅÕøŒç ŒáÕ±Õπ ÕøÕπŒáÕµÕπÕøÅ’Ö Å’ÑŒâ·Ä¶Õ≤ձŒÉÕπժÕ≠Õπ ŒáÕ±Õπ ÕªÕøÕ≥ÕøÕ∏Õ≠ŒÑÕøÅ’Ö Å’ÑÕøÅ’Ö Õ¥Å’ÅŒåÕºÕøÅ’Ö Å’áŒÖŒÅÕøÅ’Ö ÕîÕ∑պÕ∑ŒÑŒÅÕπÕøŒÖŒÑÕøÅ’Ö Õ§ÕøŒÅÕΩÕπŒáÕ∑] is named in a report of a synod convened by Emperor Isaakios II in Sep 1191[870].¬â€  Stone and Owens discuss the significance of the title "oikeios" [ÕøÕπŒáÕµÕπÕøŒÖ] borne by Demetrios in this source, indicating a close member of the household or family of the emperor, concluding that it represents another pointer towards the marriage of his daughter to Emperor Isaakios[871].¬â€  A seal dated to [1200] names "Demetrios Tornikes"[872].¬â€  Euthymios Tornikes wrote a eulogy for the "pans√©baste et·Ä¶logoth√®te D√©m√©trios Tornik√®s"[873], dated to [28/31] Jan [1201 or 1202][874].¬â€ 
m --- Malakissa, sister of EUTHYMIOS Malakes, daughter of --- Malakes & his wife ---.¬â€  Euthymios Tornikes wrote a eulogy for the "hypertime de N√©opatras (Euthymios Malak√®s)"[875], which confirms that the deceased was his uncle[876].¬â€ 
Demetrios & his wife had [four] children:¬â€ 
1.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  KONSTANTINOS Tornikes (-killed in Bulgaria [1205/06]).¬â€  Adontz quotes a letter from Mikhael Akominate addressed to Demetrios Tornikes which names his father Konstantinos and his grandfather Demetrios[877].¬â€  A seal dated to [1190] names "Konstantinos Tornikes, sebastos"[878].¬â€  The History of Niketas Choniates names "pr√¶fectus urbis Constantinus Tornicius" as head of the imperial guard which suppressed a riot in Constantinople in 1201[879].¬â€  Konstantinos Tornikes, uncle ("Õ∏յÕØÕøŒÖ") of Emperor Alexios IV, is named at Patmos, dated to 1203[880].¬â€  The History of Niketas Choniates records that "Dromi logothetam Constantinum Tornicem" was captured by the Bulgarians after the battle of Adrianople and later killed[881].¬â€  m [--- Komnene], [illegitimate daughter or granddaughter of Emperor MANUEL I]¬â€  (-after 1201).¬â€  Her supposed origin is deduced from a single primary source as follows.¬â€  The eulogy written by Euthymios Tornikes for his father Demetrios, dated 1201, refers to "ÕªÕøÕ≥ÕøÕ∏Õ≠ŒÑÕøÅ’Ö Õ≥Õ∑ÕΩÕ∑·Ä¶ ŒÉÕøÅ’Ö ÕΩŒÖպŒÜÕ∑" ("the wife of the logothetes, his daughter-in-law") and adds that the lady in question was "Õ∑ յŒá ŒÑÕâˆ‘Å’Ç Å’ÄŒÅŒéŒÑÕâˆ‘Å’Ç Å’áÕ±Õπ ÕíձŒÉÕπժÕπŒáÕâˆ‘Å’Ç Å’ÑŒâÕΩ ÕöÕøÕºÕΩÕ∑ÕΩŒâÕΩ ŒáŒÅŒÖŒÉÕâ‰ Õ±Å’Ç Å’ÉÕµÕπŒÅÕ±Å’Ç Õ∑ Õ±ÕΩեŒÅÕµÕπձ ŒáÕ±Õπ ŒÉŒâŒÜŒÅŒâÕΩ" ("descended from the first and imperial series of gold of the Komnenos, brave and wise")[882].¬â€  It is highly probable that the text refers to the wife of Konstantinos Tornikes, who is referred to as "dromi logothetam Constantinum Tornicem" by Niketas Choniates (see above)[883].¬â€  Varzos interprets the phrase "imperial series of gold of the Komnenos" as meaning that the wife of Konstantinos Tornikes was "one who emanated from Emperors Alexios, Ioannes and Manuel Komnenos", in other words from the direct line of the three Komnenos emperors[884].¬â€  If this interpretation is correct, descent from any one or two of these emperors would not constitute a "series", nor would descent from Emperor Andronikos I who counted only Emperor Alexios among his direct ancestors.¬â€  This would necessarily mean that the lady in question was the daughter or granddaughter (the chronology would support either case) of Emperor Manuel I, evidently illegitimate if she was his daughter.¬â€  However, it is not known whether such a poetic turn of phrase in this type of eulogy should be interpreted so literally.¬â€  It should also be noted that Varzos¬¥s interpretation does not appear to consign a meaning to the word "ŒÄŒÅŒéŒÑÕ∑ŒÇ" ("first").]¬â€  Konstantinos & his wife had one child:¬â€ 
a)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  DEMETRIOS Tornikes Komnenos (-[1252]).¬â€  Adontz quotes a letter from Mikhael Akominate addressed to Demetrios Tornikes which names his father Konstantinos and his grandfather Demetrios[885].¬â€  Georgios Akropolites names "Demetrios Tornices, qui summam rerum publicarum administrabat·Ä¶" among the important nobles at the court of Emperor Ioannes Batatzes[886].¬â€ 
-¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  see below.¬â€ 
2.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  [GEORGIOS Tornikes (-after 1201).¬â€  Metropolitan of Patras.¬â€  Darrouz√®s cites discourses made by Georgios Tornikes and other sources which suggest that he was probably the brother of Euthymios Tornikes[887].]¬â€ 
3.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  EUTHYMIOS Tornikes (-after 1222).¬â€  He is named in a document dated 13 Sep 1191 concerning the deposition of the patriarch Dositheos, last in a list of archontes of the patriarch therefore relatively junior in rank[888].¬â€  Euthymios Tornikes despotes and hypertimos, brother of Konstantinos, wrote a eulogy for Emperor Alexios III dated 1201[889].¬â€  Euthymios Tornikes wrote a eulogy for the "pans√©baste et·Ä¶logoth√®te D√©m√©trios Tornik√®s" in which one passage indicates that Euthymios was his son[890], dated to [28/31] Jan [1201 or 1202][891].¬â€  He was mentioned indirectly in a letter by the metropolitan of Naupaktos in a request to Theodoros Angelos in 1222[892].¬â€ 
4.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  [EIRENE] (-[18 Nov] [1183/85]).¬â€  The necrology of Speyer cathedral records the death "VI Kal Sep" of "Maria regina Philippi regis contectalis, nata de Grecia" and the donations which she made to found the anniversaries "in octava Martini [18 Nov]·Ä¶patris eius et matris eius·Ä¶Ysaac et matre Herina" and "fratris·Ä¶eius et sororis eius tercia die post festum Michahelis [1 Oct]·Ä¶Manuel fratre, Effrosina sorore"[893].¬â€  This entry is discussed by Hiestand[894].¬â€  Bearing in mind the estimated date of death of Emperor Isaakios (see above), it is possible that 18 Nov commemorates the death of [Eirene], although it is also possible that the date commemorates some other family event.¬â€  There remains some doubt about whether "Eirene" can have been the name of Isaakios's first wife as the original baptismal name of her daughter, "Maria regina", is also recorded as Eirene, the Byzantine naming practice not normally being to name children after their parents.¬â€  One possibility is that [Eirene] died while giving birth to Eirene/Maria, as naming a child after a parent appears to have been acceptable practice in those circumstances. If that is correct, it is unlikely that [Eirene] died later than [1184] considering her daughter¬¥s first marriage in 1192.¬â€  Her family relationship with the Tornikes family is indicated by a document at Patmos which names Konstantinos Tornikes as uncle ("Õ∏յÕØÕøŒÖ") of Emperor Alexios IV, dated to Dec 1203[895].¬â€  While the passage would not exclude Konstantinos being the husband either of a maternal or paternal aunt of the emperor, or indeed a more remote relation as the word "Õ∏յÕØÕøŒÇ" could indicate a family relationship which is more distant than "uncle". ¬â€ Don Stone and Charles Owens, in their detailed analysis of all the relevant sources, argue convincingly that the most likely interpretation is that Konstantinos Tornikes was Emperor Alexios¬¥s maternal uncle[896].¬â€  m (before 1181) as his first wife, ISAAKIOS Angelos, son of ANDRONIKOS Dukas Angelos & his wife Euphrosyne Kastamonitissa ([1155]-Constantinople in prison [28 Jan/12 Apr] 1204).¬â€  He succeeded in 1185 as Emperor ISAAKIOS II.]¬â€
