Research Notes:
married a princess of Mosul, sister of Uddat ud Dawlah Aby Taglib, Emir of Mosul (according to Moncreiffe he may also have been her father) [Ref: S F Rootenberg SGM 6/23/1998]

The only near-contemporary source says, basically, "Emperor Bardas and Emir Nasr agreed to a marriage between their kin". Out of all of the possible reconstructions of that statement, that the one selected just happens to be the only one which would produce large numbers of European descendants of muslim descent tells you something about how genealogists tend to throw all the tools of the trade out the window when the possibility of a really juicy line pops up. [Ref: Todd Farmerie SGM 6/24/1998]

If marriage was to a sister of Uddat ud Dawlah Abu Taglib, then daughter of Nasr ed Dawlah Hasan, Emir of Mosul 929-68, son of Abu'l Haija Abudullah, Emir of Mosul 905-29, son of Hamdan, Emir of Mosul 892-905, founder of the Hamdanid dynasty [Ref: S F Rootenberg SGM 6/23/1998]
