Manos family

Manos family

Manos is a Greek family which was one of minor Phanariot families of Constantinople.

Much of the family later settled in the independent Greek Kingdom. Further prominence for the family was ensued from the controversial marriage of Aspasia Manos to King Alexander I of Greece.

Its members include:

  • Konstantinos Manos (1869-1913), politician and writer, resided in Chania, Crete
  • Petros Manos (1871-1918), colonel, younger brother of Konstantinos; father of Aspasia (below) who became king's wife
  • John B. Manos (b.1971), great-grandson of Petros (above); currently a U.S. attorney; no diplomatic status as he was severed from the family when it was discovered he had been baptized Roman Catholic. Graduate of the Inaugural class of Ave Maria School of Law; ironically is also a Kentucky Colonel like Petros.
