Andronikos III of Trebizond
Monarch
1310 – 1332
Who was Andronikos III of Trebizond?
Andronikos III Megas Komnenos, or Andronicus III, was Emperor of Trebizond from 1330 to 1332. He was the eldest son of Emperor Alexios II of Trebizond and his Iberian wife, Djiadjak Jaqeli of Samckhe.
One of his first actions when he became emperor was to put to death his two younger brothers, George Azachoutlou and Michael Achpougas. His other brother Basil managed to escape to Constantinople, where his uncle Michael was probably already residing.
He died after a reign of 20 months and was briefly succeeded by his possibly illegitimate son, Manuel II. The sources have preserved no other details on the circumstances of his short reign.
