Children
The children of Basil and his second wife, Irene of Trebizond, were.:
- Alexios (1337–c. 1349)
- John, later renamed Alexios III (1338–1390)
- Maria (1328–1408), who married Fahreddin Kutlug beg, Emir of Aq Qoyunlu.
- Theodora, who married Hajji 'Umar, Emir of Chalybia.
There is a theory that Helena, first wife of Bagrat V of Georgia, could be another of his daughters. Her first name is recorded in "The Georgian Chronicle" (18th century).

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
one surface from another, the savor
is the same to its tongue, the fluted
cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
a jubilance....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Poets are sitting in my kitchen.
Why do these poets lie?
Why do children get children and
Did you hear what it said?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
