In "Royal Highness", Sir Iain Moncreiffe mentions a descent of the Great
Princes of Kiev from the Emirs of Mosul through the Skleroi dynasty of
Byzantium. How certain is this descent? Jean-Claude Cheynet makes no
mention thereof in the genealogical tables of his book "Pouvoirs et
contestations Byzance 963-1210" (Paris, 1990).
If Moncreiffe is correct then the descent of Mary Monomacha, princess of
Byzantium, is as follows (based on Cheynet and ES neue Folge):
1. Mary of Byzantium, +1067; marries 1046: Vsevolod, Great-Prince of Kiev.
2. Constantine IX Monomachus, Emperor of Byzantium 1042-54; married:
3. N.N. Skleraina
6. Basilos Skleros, married:
7. Pulcheria Argyropoulina.
12. Romanos Skleros, married (according to Moncreiffe):
13. N.N., Princess of Mosul, sister of Uddat ud Dawlah Abu Taglib, Emir of
Mosul (according to Moncreiffe he may also have been her father).
24. Bardas Skleros, Anti-Emperor (three times between 976-989).
26. Nasr ed Dawlah Hasan, Emir of Mosul 929-68.
48. Panthetios Skleros, married:
49. Gregoria, descended from a brother of Emperor Basil the Macedonian.
52. Abu'l Haija Abdullah, Emir of Mosul 905-29.
104. Hamdan, Emir of Mosul 892-905, founder of the Hamdanid dynasty.
Criticisms, corrections and confirmations would be appreciated.
