I thought Manuel II Palaeologus only had four sons--John VIII, Demetrius, Thomas, and the aforementioned Constantine XI. It was Thomas' daughter Zoe-Sophia that married John (Ivan) III the Grand Prince of Moscow,. She was known to the Russians as Sophia Palaeologina. Ivan then became known as the "Tsar of all Orthodoxy".
Thomas, sorry. I don\'t know why I keep saying \"Theodore\". It\'s an old family story, anyway--there\'s really no way to determine how true or not the story is. (but it would be pretty neat if it was!)
