  1. Title: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy: THEODORA Komnene

    Note: THEODORA Komnene. Her betrothal is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified The betrothal was terminated because of the church's objections. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that Theodora was the same person as Anna Komnene Angelina, possible wife of Maio [II], Count of Kefalonia. The basis for this speculation is not known. As noted above, it would be chronologically more acceptable for Maio's wife to have been the daughter of Mikhael [I] Lord of Epirus than his half-sister. However, the only source as yet identified points the other way. Betrothed (before 1217) to --- of Serbia, son of STEFAN Grand Župan of Serbia. Her betrothed has not been identified, although he may have been Stefan Radoslav of Serbia, son of Stefan Grand Župan of Serbia & his first wife Evdokia Komnene Angelina ([1191/1201]-after 1235), who succeeded his father in [1224/27] as Radoslav "Krapalo" King of Serbia. If this is correct, the betrothal would have been agreed at the same time as that of Theodora's sister Maria to Radoslav's father.

    Note: Eudokia Angelina (or Eudocia Angelina) (Greek: Ευδοκία Αγγελίνα, Serbian: Evdokija Anđel; around 1173–died c. 1211, or later) was the consort of Stefan the First-Crowned of Serbia from 1196 to 1198. She later became the mistress of Alexios V Doukas, the future Emperor. She was a daughter of Alexios III Angelos and Euphrosyne Doukaina Kamatera. Life Eudokia first married Stefan, the second son of Stefan Nemanja, Grand Župan of Rascia. The marriage was arranged by her uncle, the emperor Isaac II Angelos, around 1186, while her father was in exile in Syria. In 1195, on her father-in-law's retirement to a monastery, Eudokia's husband became ruler of Rascia. According to the Greek historian Nicetas Choniates, Stefan and Eudocia quarrelled and separated, accusing one another of adultery, after June 1198. In 1200 or 1201, Eudokia was banished from his realm. Eudokia fled on foot with only the clothes on her back, seeking refuge at the court of Vukan, ruler of Zeta, who befriended her and provided for. When she recovered, Eudokia went to Dyrrachium, from where a Byzantine ship returned her to her father in Constantinople. The repudiation of Eudokia shows the decline of Byzantine power and prestige. In Constantinople Eudokia became the mistress of the future Alexios V Doukas, with whom she (and her mother) fled the city into Thrace on April 12, 1204, as the Crusaders of the Fourth Crusade were storming the city. Reaching her deposed father at Mosynopolis, Eudocia was allowed to marry Alexios V, but he was enucleated on the orders of Alexios III shortly afterwards, then captured and sentenced to death by the Crusaders. Eudokia married thirdly Leo Sgouros, the independent ruler of Corinth, after he offered asylum to Alexios III and his family in 1204. Blockaded in the citadel of Corinth, Leo Sgouros committed suicide in 1207/1208. Eudokia is thought to have died around 1211. By her marriage to Stefan of Serbia she had two children: King Stefan Radoslav Komnena Nemanjić
