John II Megas Komnenos

John II Megas Komnenos (c. 1262–1297), youngest son of Manuel I and Irene Syrikaina, became emperor of Trebizond in June 1280 after his brother George was seized by his officials. In 1281 he rejected Michael VIII Palaiologos' demand to abandon the title Emperor of the Romans.

After Papadopoulos revolted, seized the citadel and held John prisoner, he married Michael's daughter Eudokia Palaiologina. He retained the imperial dignity, but replaced the Roman title with Emperor and Autocrat of all the East.

In 1284 he foiled George's attempt to regain the throne. John died on 16 August 1297 and was succeeded by Alexios II.
