Life
Andronikos was the son of the megas doux Alexios Palaiologos and Irene Komnene, grandson of Michael Palaiologos, and great-great-grandson of the family's founder, George Palaiologos. He was probably born about 1190, and had another brother, Michael, who was apparently the elder of the two.[2][3]

The date of Andronikos' death is unknown. Traditionally it has been dated to 1247,[4][7] since Akropolites states that it was shortly after his appointment to Thessalonica, but more recent research shows that he died some time between 1248 and 1252.[12] He was succeeded as megas domestikos by his son-in-law Nikephoros Tarchaneiotes, and as governor-general in Thessalonica by Theodore Philes.[13]
Family
In c. 1213, he married
Together, the couple had at least four children: Maria (born c. 1214/5), Irene (c. 1218), Michael (1224/5) and John (after 1225). After Theodora's death, Andronikos remarried, but the name of his second wife is unknown. With her he had another son, Constantine (c. 1230). With one of his two wives, Andronikos also had a third daughter, whose name is unknown.[2][14]
