5. MARIA Palaiologina (-[1401]). Georgios Phrantzes records that "Andronicus" had two daughters by his second wife, of whom the younger married "Orchanes"[279], which is not corroborated by other primary sources. The Historia Byzantina of Michælis Ducæ Nepotis records the marriage of "Franciscus Gateluzus" and "Mariam sororem meam [=Iohannis imperatoris]", with the island of Lesbos as her dowry[280]. Her brother Emperor Ioannes V bought support from Francisco Gattilusio, a Genoese corsair, to help restore him to the throne in return for marriage with Maria, with the island of Lesbos as her dowry.
