I would complete the following if I were competent to do so: "Nicholas Mesarites left a long eyewitness account of events, in which his own role... and the scholars Nikephoros Chrysoberges and Euthymios Tornikes wrote speeches..." etc. --Wetman (talk) 14:10, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John Comnenus the Fat

[edit]

The transliteration "John Comnenus" seems common. There are 31 Google Books hits for "John Comnenus the Fat" vs. 26 for "John Komnenos the Fat." I added a redirect but should we mention "John Comnenus" in the article lead? --Marc Kupper|talk 05:27, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds wise to me. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:01, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
