This has been pulled from a couple of academic articles, & a posting to a Usenet group; there is that little information on Notaras' parents & children.
- Father: Nicholas Notaras // Mother: not known
- Wife: A woman referred to as "Palaeologina". She may have been a relative of Constantine XI; the post to Usenet claims Constantine XI was married a third time (sic!) to a woman considered Notaras' sisiter
- Children: This is a little less unreliable
- Two sons killed in the Fall of Constantinople.
- Jacob Notaras. A younger son who was taken by Mehmed II into his Seragio to serve as a catamite. Jacob escaped from the Seragio & Constantinople, finding his way to Italy where his sister helped him establish himself in Venice. Married, no children.
- Anna Notaras. Oldest daughter & best known of Loukas' children. Moved to Italy before the Fall of Constantinople. AFAIK, never married, no children. Died 8 July 1507
- Maria Notaras. Loukas had a son-in-law who was executed before him; maybe he was Maria's husband? There is a report 2 Notaras daughters are documented fleeing the city after its Fall & arriving at Chios.
- Helena / Euphrosyne Notaras. Married Giorgio Gattilusio (d. 1449), she & her children cheated out of their inheritance by Palamedes Gattilusio. She may have remarried to a Kantakouzos. Dead by 1480, possibly in Ottoman territories.
- Theodora Notaras. Loukas had a son-in-law who was executed before him; maybe he was Theodora's husband? There is a report 2 Notaras daughters are documented fleeing the city after its Fall & arriving at Chios.
I'd add this information if I had sources I was satisfied with. -- llywrch (talk) 06:28, 21 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
