Helena Megale Komnene
Helena Megale Komnene (Greek: Έλενα Μεγάλη Κομνηνή, Elena Megalē Komnēnē) (died 1366) is the name given for the first wife of King Bagrat V of Georgia. Her first name is recorded in The Georgian Chronicle,[1] and her family name is based on a theory which identifies her as a daughter of Basil of Trebizond.[2][3] If true, the identity of her mother would be uncertain. Basil was bigamous, concurrently married to Irene Palaiologina and Irene of Trebizond.
Helena died in 1366, victim to a plague which had spread across Georgia during the 1350s and 1360s (possibly a recurrence of the Black Death).[4]
A year after her death, her husband married Anna of Trebizond.[5]
According to the Georgian Chronicle, Helena was survived by two children:[6]
- George VII of Georgia
- David. Otherwise unknown.
