Irene Komnene Laskarina Branaina

Irene Komnene Laskarina Branaina (; died around 1271) was a Byzantine noblewoman and wife of sebastokrator Constantine Palaiologos, half-brother of Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos. She seems to have followed suit after her husband's retirement to a convent, and taken the monastic name of Maria. She probably died as a nun. Marriage and family Irene was the granddaughter of Byzantine General Theodore Branas and Agnes of France, though the Branas genealogy is poorly recorded. Irene was married c. 1259/60 to Constantine Palaiologos, by whom he seems to have had five children"
