Manuel Komnenos Doukas (or Comnenus Ducas) (Greek: Μανουήλ Κομνηνός Δούκας, Manouēl Komnēnos Doukas) (c. 1187 – c. 1241), often inaccurately called Manuel Angelos (a name he never used), was ruler of Thessalonica from 1230 to 1237 and of Thessaly from 1239 until his death in c. 1241.
Famous quotes containing the word manuel:
“And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
