Алексей III Великий Комнин

Алексей был сыном трапезундского императора Василия Великого Комнина от Ирины Трапезундской, законность женитьбы на которой была оспорена константинопольским патриархом; при рождении он получил имя Иоанн. После смерти Василия в 1340 году трон заняла его первая жена Ирина Палеолог, которая выслала Ирину Трапезундскую и всех детей своего покойного мужа в Константинополь.
