  Play Shakespeare.com :: The Ultimate Free Shakespeare Resource - Titus Andronicus
The Tribune of the People, Marcus Andronicus, announces, however, that Titus Andronicus, a Roman general newly returned from ten years' campaigning against the foes of the empire is the people’s choice of successor.
Titus Andronicus enters Rome to much fanfare, bearing with him Tamora, Queen of the Goths, her sons, and Aaron the Moor.
Titus refuses the throne, abdicating in favor of Saturninus, and sacrifices Tamora’s eldest son to the memory of his own sons who died during his campaign, earning her hatred for the remainder of the play.

  Andronicus I Comnenus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andronicus I Comnenus (c.1118-1185), Byzantine emperor, son of prince Isaac Comnenus, and grandson of Alexius I Comnenus, was born about the beginning of the 12th century.
While Andronicus was on one of his incursions, his castle was surprised by the governor of Trebizond, and Theodora with her two children were captured and sent to Constantinople.
Andronicus was the last of the Comneni to rule Constantinople, although his grandsons Alexius I of Trebizond and his brother David founded the Empire of Trebizond in 1204.

 Titus Andronicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titus Andronicus was published in three separate quarto editions prior to the First Folio of 1623; these are reffered to as Q1, Q2, and Q3 by Shakespeare scholars.
It has even been posited that Shakespeare didn't write Titus Andronicus at all; for example, the 19th century Globe Illustrated Shakespeare (still in print in 2005) goes so far as to claim there was a general agreement on the matter due to the un-Shakespearean "barbarity" of the play's action.
Titus Andronicus is perhaps Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy; some measure of its matter can be gleaned from a single stage-direction: "Enter the empress' sons with Lavinia, her hands cut off, and her tongue cut out, and ravished." (Act II, scene IV).
