Manuel Apokaukos

Manuel Apokaukos was a Byzantine official, a son of the megas doux Alexios Apokaukos, the regency's chief minister during the civil war of 1341–1347. After Adrianople declared for the regency in 1341, his father sent him to govern the city.

When John Kantakouzenos captured Adrianople, Manuel took refuge in the nearby fortress of Boukelo. After Alexios retook the city, Manuel defected to Kantakouzenos in 1344, although the townspeople refused to follow him.
