The Chronicle of Michael Panaretos records the marriage 8 Jul 1339 of "the emperor lord Basil…to the empress lady Irene from Trebizond"[96]. Co-regent of Trebizond 22 Dec 1349-[1354].

The Chronicle of Michael Panaretos records that "the emperor…the empress and the empress mother" descended into "Lazica with a force by land and sea" in Jun 1366[99]. The Chronicle of Michael Panaretos records that "his great grandmother the empress Lady Irene" was present at the baptism of her great grandson Manuel, who was born 19 Jun 1382[100].
