Alexios I of Trebizond

Alexios I Megas Komnenos or Alexius I Comnenus (c. 1182 – February 1, 1222) is Emperor of Trebizond from 1204 to 1222.

He is the eldest son of Manuel Komnenos and of Rusudan, daughter of George III of Georgia.

He is thus a grandson of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos I. Andronikos is dethroned and killed in 1185.

Manuel is blinded at the same time and may well have died; at any rate he disappears from the historical record.

He leaves two children, the Caesars Alexios and David.

Their mother Rusudan flees either to Georgia or to the southern coast of the Black Sea.
