[Facts] I found
The emperor Emmanuel/Immanuel/Manuel I Comnenus (? ~1123 - Constantinople, 1180), son of the Byzantine Emperor John II, and emperor of the Byzantine Empire between 1143 and 1180.
It is the oldest reference that I found. Another is Emmanuel/Immanuel/Manuel I of Trebisond (XIII c.) the Warrior, son of Alexis I of Trebisond.At home, I will check the RAC (Repertori d'Antropònims Catalans).Lumia
