You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.161.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:07, 1 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Thamar Angelina Komnene''' (((lang-gr|Θαμάρ Αγγελίνα Κομνηνή)); died ((circa|1311))) was a [[princess consort]] of [[Principality of Taranto|Taranto]] by marriage to Prince [[Philip I of Taranto|Philip I]].

==Life==
Thamar was the daughter of [[Nikephoros I Komnenos Doukas]] of the [[Despotate of Epirus]] and his second spouse [[Anna Palaiologina Kantakouzene]], niece of the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] Emperor [[Michael VIII Palaiologos]]. She was one of five siblings. Her older half-sister was Catherine, wife of [[Infante Frederick of Castile]]. She also had three younger siblings: Michael died before becoming despotes; [[Thomas I Komnenos Doukas]], who would go on to become ''[[despotes]]'' himself; and Maria, who married Count [[John I Orsini]] of Cephalonia (1304–1317).

===Marriage===
Thamar’s mother wished to heal the breach between Epirus and the Byzantine Empire. To reunite Epirus with the Empire, Anna wanted to marry Thamar to [[Michael IX Palaeologus|Michael]], the son and co-emperor of [[Andronikos II Palaiologos]]. The idea was rejected by Andronikos and it was viewed as [[Canon law|uncanonical]] by the Church because the two were cousins.

With the failure of Anna’s plan, Thamar's father Nikephoros attempted to strengthen his independence from Constantinople by allying himself with the [[Capetian House of Anjou|Angevin]] dynasty of [[Kingdom of Naples|Naples]]. King [[Charles II of Naples]] had already proposed a marital union between their two houses, and after lengthy negotiations, Nikephoros came to an agreement by which Thamar would marry Charles’ fourth son [[Philip I of Taranto]].

The conditions for the marriage alliance were that her dowry would give Philip the same position in Epirus that King [[Manfred of Sicily]], had gained through his marriage to Thamar’s aunt [[Helena Angelina Doukaina]] 35 years before. It was also promised that Thamar would bring to her husband an annual sum of 100,000 [[hyperpyra]] and four castles located in the south of Epirus. Philip and Thamar were also to inherit Epirus on Nikephoros' death. Due to the involvement of her mother in the agreement, Thamar was allowed to keep her [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] faith.

The wedding took place at [[L'Aquila]] in [[Abruzzo]] in August 1294.

===Princess of Taranto===
Thamar's marriage did not turn out to be a happy one. Five years after their wedding her husband was captured and imprisoned by the [[Kingdom of Aragon|Aragonese]]. She pawned her coronet, and also begged money from her family in Epirus to pay the ransom for his release. She did not see him again until 1302. In [[Taranto]] she came under pressure to assimilate into Latin ways. Despite the promises made at the time of her marriage she was forced to become a Catholic under the name Catherine (Caterina). The relationship between the spouses soured further when difficulties arose between the Angevins and Epirus, which had been inherited by Thamar's young brother Thomas.

===Divorce and death===
Philip suspected his wife of acting in her family's interests over his during the two-year conflict that raged between the Angevins and Epirus, despite the fact that she had pawned the remainder of her jewellery to help him pay for the military effort. Distrustful of Thamar, Philip decided to divorce her and in 1309 accused her of having committed [[adultery]]. She was forced into confessing that she had slept with at least forty of the lords of his court and that she had formed a particular relationship with [[Bartolomeo Siginulfo]], the [[Grand Chamberlain]] of Taranto. Once the marriage had been dissolved Philip went on to take a new wife, [[Catherine II of Valois, Princess of Achaea|Catherine II of Valois]], the titular [[Latin Empire of Constantinople|Empress of Constantinople]]. Thamar became an outcast, either becoming a [[nun]] or being imprisoned by her ex-husband. In either case, she died not long afterwards in 1311.

==Children==
((Unreferenced section|date=December 2022))
By her marriage to Philip I of Taranto, Thamar had six children:
* [[Charles of Taranto|Charles]] (1296–1315), Vicar of Romania, killed at the [[Battle of Montecatini]].
* [[Jeanne of Anjou|Jeanne]] (1297–1317), married to [[Oshin of Armenia]] and then [[Oshin of Korikos]]
* [[Philip, Despot of Romania|Philip]] (1300–1330), [[Despot of Romania]].
* Maria (1302/04-1368), Abbess of Conversano.
* Beatrice (1305–1340), married to [[Walter VI of Brienne]], titular [[Duke of Athens]].
* Bianca (1309–1337), married to Infante Ramón Berenguer of [[Aragon]], Count of Prades.
