Chandrenos

Chandrenos was a Byzantine general from a landowning family in Asia Minor who fought the Turks until his ancestral lands were lost. He fought in the defeat by the Catalan Company at the Battle of Apros in 1305, then served in Macedonia under Angelos Palaiologos, helping save Thessalonica from siege and driving the Catalans into Thessaly.

In 1309 he repelled a Serbian invasion aided by Turks. Around 1310–1311 he was accused of treason in Constantinople, where the scholar Thomas Magistros defended him before Andronikos II.
