{geni:about_me} The Byzantine Emperors
It's unanimously agreed by scholars that all the emperors from the Nikephorus Dynasty were from the Ghassanid
Royal Family. As stated above, for sure, the Gharios and Ghassan Dynasty is related to the emperors: Nikephorus I
(or Nicephorus) Logothetes (reigned from 802 to 811 A.D.), Staurakios (son of Nikephorus, reigned in 811 A.D.), the
empress Prokopia (daughter of Nikephorus I) and Michael I Rangabe (Prokopia's husband, reigned from 811 to
813 A.D.).According with many scholars, including Dr. David Huges, the Emperor Michael I and the Empress
Prokopia (daughter of Nikephorus I) were the ancestors to later Byzantine Emperors. They had a son, the
co-emperor Theophylaktos (co-reigned with Michael I from 812 to 813 AD), and he was father to a daughter
named Melissena (later became Martinakia) who married Inger Martinakios. They had a daughter named
Eudokia Ingerina who was empress consort of emperor Basil I and mother of the emperor Leo VI the Wise, also
the emperor Alexander III and the Patriarch Stephen I of Constantinople. By that link, the Gharios and Ghassan
Dynasty is also blood related to the Macedonian Dynasty of the Byzantine Empire and therefore, with the
following Byzantine Emperors:
