Andronikos I Gidos, also known as Andronicus I Gidon, was Emperor of Trebizond from 1222 to 1235. Unlike his predecessors, he was not a blood relative of Trebizond's founder, Alexios I Megas Komnenos. The Gidos family, to which Andronikos belonged, emerged in Byzantine history in the 12th/13th century. The origin of the family name is uncertain, with speculations ranging from a Greek word for "goat" to a Latinized form of the Italian name Guido. During his reign, Andronikos faced and successfully withstood a siege of Trebizond by the Seljuk Turks. He also supported the Khwarazmshah in their battle against the Seljuks. Andronikos married a daughter of Alexios I of Trebizond and Theodora Axuchina. His reign marked the end of Trebizond's independence, as an alliance with the Khwarizmshah led to Trebizond becoming a vassal to the Sultan of Iconium. In 1230, the Mongols occupied a significant portion of the territories that were once part of Trebizond. Iberia and Lazica, formerly under Trebizond, formed an independent kingdom of Imereti. Andronikos is known for being the earliest Emperor of Trebizond whose coins have survived, featuring images of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child on one side and the emperor with Christ on the other.
