Adrianos Komnenos (Greek: Ἀδριανός Κομνηνός; c. 1088 – 1163/64) was a Byzantine prince of the Komnenian dynasty, who became a monk and served as Archbishop of Ohrid as John IV (Ἰωάννης Δ΄) between 1139/42 and his death, sometime in 1163/64.
[3] His uncle raised him to the rank of sebastos and appointed him military governor (doux) of Chaldia in northeastern Asia Minor.
Adrianos distinguished himself in the position, according to Basilakes, by his honesty and incorruptibility, lack of ostentation, and his wise and compassionate stance towards the inhabitants of his province, shielding them from the usual rapaciousness of the imperial tax officials.
After participating in John II's triumphal entry into Antioch, he continued south and made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, before rejoining the imperial army on its return journey to Constantinople in May 1138.
[12] He is next attested as attending a synod in January 1156 and the Council of Blachernae in May 1157, which condemned the newly elected Patriarch of Antioch Soterichos Panteugenos, and the rhetoricians Michael of Thessalonica and Nikephoros Basilakes.
In the early 13th century, it was revived by the ambitious Demetrios Chomatenos to support his claims of quasi-patriarchal status in his clash over authority with the patriarchs of Constantinople, at the time in exile at the Empire of Nicaea.
[21] Her anonymous sister, probably born c. 1115, is only known for selling some of her family's land to Emperor John II, who dedicated it to the Pantokrator Monastery.
