Theodora of Trebizond

Theodora of Trebizond

Theodora Megale Komnene (Greek: Θεοδώρα Μεγάλη Κομνηνή, "Theodōra Megalē Komnēnē"), (before 1253– after 1285), Empress of Trebizond from 1284 to 1285. She was a daughter of Emperor Manuel I of Trebizond by his second wife, Rusudan, a Georgian princess.

In 1284, with help of Georgian King of Imereti, David VI Narin she managed to seize the crown from her half-brother, Emperor John II. Shortly afterwards she was defeated and John regained his throne, but she had managed reign long enough to have minted her own coins. Either before or after her short reign, Theodora was a nun.
