"Manuel Anemas was an aristocrat and military commander in the Byzantine Empire during the reigns of John II Komnenos and Manuel I Komnenos. Background and life Manuel Anemas was a member of the Anemas family. Four Anemas brothers were involved in a serious conspiracy against Alexios I Komnenos in 1105.Kazhdan, p. 96 It is remarkable that in the next generation a member of the same family, Manuel, married the porphyrogenita princess Theodora Komnene, daughter of John II and his empress, Eirene of Hungary. By this marriage John II may have been seeking to politically neutralise the threat of a potentially dangerous family. He was certainly pursuing a policy of bringing 'new blood' into the imperial family and governing circles.Magdalino, p. 207 Manuel was celebrated by the Byzantine court poet Theodore Prodromos, who described him as a wise general and the "great tower of the Rhomaioi",Kazhdan and Epstein, p. 107 Rhomaioi being the Romans, as the Byzantines referred to themselves. Though Anemas appears to have been a prominent soldier little information on his exploits has survived. Manuel Anemas died in 1148; a funerary lament dated to Holy Week of that year by Prodromos, for "'Kyrios Manuel Anemas, the most fortunate son-in-law of the late basileus and autokrator of the Romans John the Purple-born", is extant.Magdalino, p. 486 Family Manuel Anemas and Theodora Komnene had a number of children: * Alexios KomnenosHe adopted his mother's more prestigious surname. . ( or – 1155/57), married Anna Komnene Doukaina, a great-grandniece of Alexios I (possibly a granddaughter of Alexios' brother Isaac Komnenos). He died of some disease, possibly tuberculosis, and died at a young age; his wife followed soon after. The couple had one child, of whom nothing further is known. * A daughter, possibly named Irene (born ), she married an unknown husband, and had at least one daughter, Theodora, the wife of Andronikos Lapardas. * A daughter, possibly named Maria (born ), she married John Angelos, a nephew of Constantine Angelos and distinguished military commander. The marriage remained childless. * Eudokia (born ), she married the scholar Theodore Styppeiotes, who became Manuel I's chief minister. The couple had several children, but only the name of one, Manuel, is known. References Bibliography * *Kazhdan, A.P. and Epstein A.W.
