Constantine Akropolites

Constantine Akropolites or Acropolites (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Ἀκροπολίτης, Konstantinos Akropolitês), son of the scholar and statesman George Akropolites, was also a minister of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos, until he was disgraced. Under his successor Andronikos II, however, he was again in favor. Like his father, too, he wrote much on theology, especially on the more recondite doctrines, such as the procession of the Holy Ghost. In compiling lives of saints he was more usefully employed—that of St. John of Damascus is in the huge collection of Jean Bolland.

He married Maria Komnene Tornikina. Their daughter Theodora married the general Alexios Philanthropenos.^[1] Their daughter Akropolitissa married Emperor Michael of Trebizond.^[2].
