In the Komnenian period, in an echo of the 10th-century arrangements, the megas domestikos would sometimes command the entire field army of East or West, but in the Palaiologan period, there was only one holder of the office, who came to be one of the senior-most courtiers, ranking directly after the Caesar.[6]

Father John Doukas
Mother Eirene Pegonitissa
Andronikos Doukas, Latinized as Andronicus Ducas, (Greek: Ανδρόνικος Δούκας; died 14 October 1077) was a Greek protovestiarios and protoproedros of the Byzantine Empire.
Life
Andronikos Doukas was son of the Caesar John Doukas and Eirene Pegonitissa. His father was a brother of Emperor Constantine X Doukas. His maternal grandfather was Niketas Pegonites. Andronikos himself was a first cousin of Michael VII Doukas.
In 1071 Andronikos was the commander of a section of the Byzantine army in the campaign of Romanos IV Diogenes against the Seljuk Turks of Alp Arslan. Commanding the rearguard of the army during the Battle of Manzikert, Andronikos announced that the emperor had been cut down and deserted from the battlefield. He was widely blamed for causing the crushing defeat of the Byzantine forces and the subsequent capture of Romanos IV by the enemy.
In 1072, after Romanos had been released by Alp Arslan, Andronikos and his brother Constantine were sent out by Michael VII and their father the Caesar John to intercept him. They defeated Romanos and hunted him down in Cilicia. It was Andronikos who finally obtained Romanos' surrender and conducted him towards Constantinople. In spite of his former hatred for the deposed emperor, Andronikos is said to have opposed his blinding on 29 June 1072.
In an act of 1073, he is recorded with his titles as protoproedros, protovestiarios and megas domestikos, which Michael Attaleiates clarifies as being the post of domestikos ton scholon of the East, which he had been given when sent against Diogenes.[1]
In 1074, together with his father, Andronikos commanded the imperial army against the rebel mercenaries led by Roussel de Bailleul. Both were captured by the rebels, who released the badly wounded Andronikos to allow him to seek proper medical treatment in Constantinople. There he recovered for a few years, but in October 1077 died of an edema.
Family
Andronikos Doukas married Maria of Bulgaria, daughter of Troian, a son of Emperor Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria. Maria of Bulgaria and Andronikos Doukas had seven children:[2]

Андроник Дука (греч. Ανδρόνικος Δούκας), (ок. 1050 — 14 октября 1077) — византийский государственный деятель.Андроник Дука был старшим сыном кесаря Иоанна Дуки и Ирины Пегонитиссы. Его отец был братом императора Константина X, дедом по материнской линии был Никита Пегонит. Сам Андроник был двоюродным братом Михаила VII Дуки. В начале своей карьеры Андроник занимал придворные должности протовестиария и протопроэдра.
В 1071 году Андроник был начальником части византийской армии во время кампании императора Романа IV Диогена против турок-сельджуков султана Алп-Арслана. Командуя арьергардом армии во время битвы при Манцикерте, Андроник объявил, что император погиб, и дезертировал с поля боя. Поэтому его обвиняют в поражении византийской армии и последующим пленении Романа IV противником.
В 1072 году, после того как Роман был отпущен Алп-Арсланом, Андроник и его брат Константин были посланы Михаилом VII и их отцом Иоанном, чтобы захватить императора. Они выследили Романа в Киликии, а затем, одержав над ним победу, пленили. Андроник вместе с императором отправился в Константинополь. Несмотря на свою ненависть к свергнутому императору, Андроник, как говорят, был против его ослепления, произошедшего 29 июня 1072 года. В 1073 он занимал должность доместика Востока — верховного главнокомандующего имперской армии в этом регионе.
В 1074 году вместе со своим отцом Андроник командовал императорской армии во время похода против мятежных норманнских наёмников во главе с Русселем де Байолем. Они оба были захвачены повстанцами, которые отпустили тяжело раненого Андроника, чтобы того вылечили в столице. Там, приняв пострижение под именем Антония, он жил в течение нескольких лет и 14 октября 1077 года скончался от отёка.
От брака с Марией Болгарской, внучкой царя Ивана Владислава, у Дуки было пять детей:
Михаил Дука — протостратор.
Иоанн Дука — великий дука.
Ирина Дукиня — жена императора Алексея I Комнина.
Анна Дукиня — жена Георгия Палеолога.
Феодора Дукиня.
