Thomas Asen Palaiologos

[1] Thomas Asen Palaiologos organized an anti-Ottoman rebellion in Greece at an unknown time and place.

[2] In Naples, Thomas Asen Palaiologos was the main donor (ktetor) for the construction of the city's first Eastern Orthodox church, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul of the Greeks (Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo dei Greci).

[2] The church, which was commonly referred to as the "Palaiologian chapel", was an important hub of the community of Byzantine exiles in Naples.

Built in 1518 and reconstructed multiple times, it is one of the oldest churches of the Byzantine diaspora in the West after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.

There are indications that he had no children, as the rights to the church were inherited by his niece Maria Asanina Palaiologina (Bulgarian: Мария Асенина Палеологина),[2] daughter of his brother George Asen (Bulgarian: Георги Асен), wife of Rali (Raul), mother of Pietro Rali (?-1558, Napoli) and grandmother of neapolitan noblewoman Victoria Rali Asen (Bulgarian: Виктория Ралина Асенина).
