Son or brother?[edit]

The article names Michael Tzamantouros Laskaris as a younger son of Theodore I Laskaris, however, in Theodore's article we read that Theodore had three daughters and only two obscure sons, John and Nicholas, who most likely died in childhood and disappeared from the records (and also a disinherited son with Philippa). Generally, sources seem to name the two Tzamantouros-Laskaris (Michael and Manuel) as Theodore's brothers (usually suggested from a different mother). Piccco (talk) 22:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
