do have any information haplogroup of byzantine emperors? it is interesting that.
 
many byzantine royal family have non greek origin. such as armenian, balkanian(illiyrian,thracian possibly vlach and other balkanic people.),anatolian(kommenian dynasty origin was kastamonu city of modern turkey in nort-western anatolia and roman diogenes is anatolian descended) and mesopotamian and arabic origin exist in some byzantine royal family.
 
Not one of the emperors was Greek. They had Greek names but were not Greek.
 
most anatolian greek is hellenized anatolian native people(hittites, paplagonians, luwians......) I think that.

Greeks had a lot to do with that empire! One reason Arvanites are in Greece today are Some of this Emperors. They wanted to supplement population lost in wars, or from epidemies.

Arvanites are a much later addition and were added by the Ottomans. Yes the language was Greek and the culture was Roman/Greek but the actual Byzantine/Christian empire was not very good for Greek culture. Christians under the protection of the emperors burned libraries, closed schools of philosophy, toppled sculptures, slaughtered Greeks that believed in the old Greek Gods, etc.
A lot of the emperors were generals in the army or in the imperial guard that were elevated to the throne as a result of coups. There were a lot of infighting/civil wars just when the great population movements were happening. I am still amazed that it lasted for 1100 years.

That is hilarious.

Even with so much free information online proving the opposite, there are still people trying to spread such lies.
 
Interesting indeed

I agree that the most of origins of East Roman Emperrors had nothing to do with Greek
But we have to see many things

First the marriages of nobles
even from the founder of Con/polis we see a marriage of a Roman with a Greek,
which continues, Persians Iberians (caucasos) Armenians Syrrians Arabs etc
till the Ottoman empire,
the mother of Mohammet 2nd said was Greek
and Sugleimans wife was Ruthinian etc

Second the origins that claimed
in the years of Christian tyrrany
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BE GREEK, CLAIM GREEK ANCESTRY AND BECOME KING
Only Julian did such
a good example is Pholkas who claimed ancestry from Roman family of Fabians as Attaleiates says

SO EVEN IF SOMEONE WAS GREEK or HELLENISED
WOULD NOT DARE TO CLAIM HELLENIC ANCESTRY
DUE TO FEAR OF CHRISTIANS



The ones were Called Illyrians were Flavians from Mapoli or Swiss
The IBerians were probably from Georgia
others from Syrria etc etc etc etc

yet for some it is believed that were connected with Hellenic population
for example the Amoricum origins ones
the Makedonian dynasty ones (also might be Armani)

But when Justinianus is in Italy Ravenna for Lagobards
the West Roman scholars name his army and commanders as Greeks, which means exactly what might mean.


@Bigsnake69
true,
the genocide of Greeks by Romans due to christians is a massive population destruction,
Even Roman Families did not escape this massacres.
Ροιδης gives about 19 million,and this not the only thing,
also the destruction continues, the depopulation of Hellenic people and culture (both Hellenes and Hellenized)
brought change of agriculture, the later plagues, the invasions etc etc.
the last ones were the Cretans of Κλεαγετη at 961 BC



YET
I doupt if they give permission for genetical search
but many Royalties 'bones' are in known places,
For example only in monasteries in mt Athos are 2 as far as I know.



Strange
this is an Itallian actor
ImageProxy-600x338.jpg


His real name is
Prinnce Antonio Focas Flavio Angelo Ducas Comneno De Curtis di Bisanzio Gagliardi!
true ancestor or claimed nobility? from Phokas family?
who knows,


Also Huan de Fuca Vallerianos
the Vancouver sea pioneer
a Greek in Spain

Etc Etc

About Arvanites in Greece: The first one, according to documents arrived in Thessalia about year 1050. By 1350 there were many Arvanite colonies established in Peloponnesus, Attica and some other places. Arvanites resisted Turkish occupations in Peloponnesus longer than Greeks did, and when they lost, some of them arrived in South Italy. During the Ottoman years no Arvanites arrived in Greece with exception of Albanian mercenaries or drafted by force by Turks. Did they stay or leave its not quite clear. Roman Empire had a lot of Albanians at her helm, so did the Ottoman Empire. With the exception of one, or maybe two Albanians in Byzantine Empire others are Greeks, according to Albanian history about Byzantine Empire. Could have been some slaves, probably, since they were well established in Byzantine times. According to Albanian historians Arvanites were invited by Greek warlords, land was donated to them and according to agreements Arvanites had to have a number of war horses, equipment's, and in case of call to war all male body able to fight had to answer the call of the warlord who facilitated them

do not mix Arbanites of Latinocracy with rest

The first Arbanites have origin from Maniakis army,
after the rebelion of Maniakis moved to Korone and Maniaki Peloponese, and from there to Italy.

The second Arbanites were invaded by Latin Rulers of Duchy of Athens and settle Boiotia, not Thessaly
Then from the same stuff moved to Nauplion by invitation or licence of habitation even by Palaiologos
These are the first and true Arbanites.

The rest waves are different stories,

Albanocracy of is the status that Albanians had priviledges comparing Greeks and Arbanites, and moved uncontrolled and raid, and starts around 1715 and ends theoritically by Ali Pasha,
although it continued until 1860's in some areas.

AND GUYS PLZ

The main wave was during the 16th century. The earlier migrations were small in number.
