The Batatzai (Vatatzai) appear to hgave been established to Thrace when first mentions of the family occur in the late tenth century. The family was a distinguished one whose members occupied many high positions of state and intermarried with the greatest aristocratic houses. It is likely, however, that the branch which provided Byzantium with three (exiled) emperors was a comparatively junior one. Emperor John III did not boast of his Batatzes descent; he and his son and grandson (Theodor II, 1254-58, and John IV, 1258-61, emperors of Nicaea) did not use the patronymic. The Batatzai appear to have died out in the male line in the thirteenth century, although the collateral line of the Diplobatatzao survived until the sixteenth century [Ref: Brook ByzantineAnc p10]
