About Ivan
"IVAN. Theophanes Continuatus names "Ioannes…et Beniamin Petri fratres"[75]. Cedrenus records that "Petro Bulgarorum principi Joannes frater ipsius" rebelled in Bulgaria, was captured and forcibly tonsured, but left for Constantinople where he renounced his vows and married, dated to [928/29] from the context[76]. m (928 or after) ---. The name of Ivan’s wife is not known but her Armenian origin is confirmed by Theophanes Continuatus which records that "Petro Bulgarorum principi Ioannes frater" was welcomed at Constantinople and married "Armeniacorum patria coniugem"[77]. No other information is known about Ivan’s wife. However, one somewhat outlandish scenario appears to reconcile the conflicts between the different primary sources, discussed below in Chapter 1.C relating to the parentage of the four Kometopoulos brothers: that Ivan’s anonymous Armenian wife married Nikolaos [Kumet] as her second husband, and that Aaron and Moisei were her sons by her first marriage to Ivan, while Samuil and David were born to her second husband. As noted below, it is considered that this possibility is too remote to justify recasting the presentation of the families in the present document."
