Constantine Makrodoukas

The Panhypersebastos Konstantinos Dukas macro ( † around 1184 ) was a member of the Byzantine aristocracy. He was married to Anne, daughter of Isaac Sebastocrator, a niece of Emperor Manuel I and a sister of Theodora, widow of Baldwin III. of Jerusalem, the long -time lover of Andronikos Komnenos, the later Emperor Andronikos I. His son, Isaac Dukas, married a daughter of King Géza II of Hungary.

According to the chronicler Nicetas Choniates he was a faithful follower of Emperor Andronikos I. He vouched for his stepson Isaac Comnenus, who had been captured as governor of Isauria of the Armenians. When Isaac Comnenus is deposed after his release from an Armenian captivity in Cyprus and seized power there in 1183, a friend of Isaac, and the violation of imperial majesty were Konstantinos Dukas macro and Andronikos Dukas, indicted. Nicetas Choniates reported on the trial of the two, which took place under the open sky, and the much people had gathered. Apparently, the court was concerned that the process will run in favor of the accused. When the prisoners were led out, threw Stephanos Hagiochristophorites, a confidant of Andronikos, a stone on Konstantinos. Other courtiers themselves only after threats involved in the stoning.

Together with Andronikos Dukas Konstantinos was then impaled against the Mangana Palace.
