Demetrios Palaiologos Kantakouzenos
Demetrios Palaiologos Kantakouzenos was the" mesazon"( chief minister) of the Emperors John VIII Palaiologos and his brother, Constantine XI.
His colleague in the office as" mesazon" was Loukas Notaras.
Demetrios first appears in history as one of the courtiers who advised John VIII to support the Ottoman prince Mustafa in his bid to seize control of the Ottoman Empire on the death of his brother Mehmet I in 1421.
When Mehmet's son Murat emerged as the victor, he was selected as one of the envoys( the other two being Matthew Laskaris and Angelos Philomattes) to meet with Murat.
The Sultan showed his annoyance that the Byzantines had supported his uncle by putting them in prison; none of them were released until the conclusion of a treaty between John VIII and Murat in February 1424.
He played other prominent roles in diplomatic affairs as" mesazon" to the two emperors.
He was a witness to John's treaties with the Republic of Venice in September 1423, May 1431, October 1436, September 1442, and July 1447.
He also played a heroic part in the final defense of Constantinople; according to Donald Nicol, he commanded a unit of 700 men stationed in the neighborhood of the Church of the Holy Apostles with his son-in- law Nikephoros Palaiologos, while Steven Runciman assigns him to a command of a portion of the Theodosian Walls next to the Sea of Marmora.
Demetrios' fate following the fall of Constantinople to Sultan Mehmet II's army is unclear.
Du Cange writes that he and his son-in- law were killed defending the city; Steven Runciman writes that Demetrios was captured alive.
Donald Nicol notes that a Demetrios Kantakouzenos is recorded as escaping from the fallen city, with his family and other refugees, on the ship of the Genoese admiral Zorzi Doria.
Doria took them as far as Chios, where the Venetian captain Thomas Celsi gave them passage to Candia( modern Heraklion) in Crete.
Nicol also mentions the record of the daughter of" one Demetrios Kantakouzenos and his wife Simonis Gadelina, called Maria" marrying Theodore, the son of Paul Palaiologos, in Corfu in November 1486.
Nicol offers no information on the names of Demetrios Palaiologos Kantakouzenos' parents, although he states that Demetrios was the cousin of Emperor John VIII.
The name of his wife has not come down to us, although he had a daughter who, as mentioned above, married Nikephoros Palaiologos, and Demetrios is presumed to be the father of a" protostrator" Kantakouzenos who was executed along with Loukas Notaras and Andronikos Palaiologos Kantakouzenos five days after the capture of the city.

Demetrios Palaiologos (son of Andronikos II)
Demetrios Angelos Doukas Palaiologos (ca. 1297 – after 1343) was a son of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (reigned 1282–1328) and his second wife, Irene of Montferrat.
Born ca. 1297, Demetrios was the youngest of Andronikos II's sons.
In ca.
1304, he was sent to the court of the Serbian ruler Stephen Uroš II Milutin, intended to become his successor; his stay there was short, however, and he soon returned to Constantinople.
In 1306 he was named to the highest court rank, that of Despot.
In the Byzantine civil war of 1321–1328, Demetrios sided with his father against his nephew, Andronikos III Palaiologos.
In 1327–1328, during the last stage of the civil war, he served as governor of Thessalonica.
Eventually he was forced to flee to Serbia, while Andronikos III managed to take his wife and children captive, but Demetrios returned to Constantinople after Andronikos III's final victory.
Demetrios was accused of conspiring against his nephew in 1336/37, but Andronikos III dropped the charges.
Nothing more is known of him after 1343.
Demetrios was also an accomplished theologian and miniature painter.
The identity of his wife is not established, but she was possibly Theodora Komnene.
By her he had a daughter, the future empress Irene, and at least one other, unnamed, child.
Demetrios Palaiologos
Demetrios Palaiologos or Demetrius Palaeologus( ca. 1407–1470) was a Byzantine prince and Despot.
He ruled over Mesembria and Lemnos, before becoming Despot in the Morea in 1449.
He remained co-ruler of the Morea along with his brother Thomas Palaiologos until he surrendered Mistras to the Ottomans in 1460.
He was given lands in Thrace as an appanage by Sultan Mehmed II, which he ruled until his disgrace in 1467.
Shortly after he was allowed to retire to Adrianople with his wife.
He became a monk with the monastic name David after the death of his daughter Helena Palaiologina in 1469, and died in 1470.

Irene of Montferrat
Yolande of Montferrat (– 1317 in Constantinople) (also known as Violante, then Empress Irene) was the second wife of Andronikos II Palaiologos and thus empress of the Byzantine Empire.
She was the heir of the Margraviate of Montferrat.
Born in Casale, she was daughter of William VII, Marquess of Montferrat and his second wife Beatrice of Castile.
Her maternal grandparents were King Alfonso X of Castile and his wife Violante of Aragon.
Yolande (variation of Violante) was named after her grandmother.
In 1284, Andronikos II, a widower by his first marriage with Anna of Hungary, married Yolanda (who was renamed Eirene as Empress).
She and Andronikos II were distant cousins, both being descendants of Andronikos Doukas Angelos (ca. 1122-1185).
With her, Eirene brought the Montferrat rights to the kingdom of Thessalonica, a dominion that, despite having been conquered half-a-century before Eirene's birth by the Byzantine state of Epirus, was still claimed by its short-lived (1204–1224) Montferrat royal dynasty.
It was later proven that the Italian Montferrat had no living male heirs of the Aleramici dynasty, and Eirene's sons were entitled to inherit it upon the 1305 death of Eirene's brother John I, Marquess of Montferrat.
The marriage produced the following children:
Eirene's stepson, Michael IX Palaiologos was intended to succeed her husband as emperor, but ultimately it was Michael's son Andronikos III Palaiologos, who became the successor instead of Michael.
This was largely due to the work Eirene did to ensure some power and property to her own offspring.
Eirene left Constantinople in 1303 and settled in Thessaloniki.
She set her own court in the city and controlled her own finances and foreign policy until her death fourteen years later.
Nicephorus Gregoras portrayed her as an ambitious and arrogant leader in his historical writings.
