Theodora is believed to have been born sometime around 1180/5 in Constantinople to parents whose identities are uncertain. However, it is known that one of her grandmothers was a daughter of a Byzantine Emperor As such, Theodora may have been a daughter of John Doukas (son of Andronikos Angelos) or else a daughter of one of Andronikos' daughters.

Theodora Angelina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodora Angelina was the only daughter of Anna Angelina and Isaac Comnenus Sebastocrator. Her maternal grandparents were Byzantine emperor Alexius III Angelus and Euphrosyne Doukaina Kamaterina.

Theodora was first married, in 1197, to Ivanko, leader of the Bulgarians. Her father had died in Bulgarian captivity not many months earlier.

A few years later she became one of the wives of a rival warlord, Dobromir, leader of Bulgarians.

Later, after the Fourth Crusade brought about the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, Theodora married Leopold VI, Duke of Austria. Leopold and Theodora had seven children (according to Varzos, cited below):

1. Margaret, Duchess of Austria (1204 - February 28, 1266). Married firstly with Henry, elder son and pressumptive heir of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, and when he died, she married with the King Ottokar II of Bohemia.
2. Agnes of Austria (February 19, 1205 - August 29, 1226). Married Albrecht I, Duke of Saxony.
3. Leopold of Austria (1207 - 1216).
4. Henry of Austria (1208 - November 28, 1228). Married Agnes of Turingia; their only daughter, Gertrudis, was the general heiress of the house of Babenberg after the death of his uncle.
5. Gertrude of Austria (1210 - 1241). Married Henry IV Raspe, Landgrave of Turingia.
6. Frederick II, Duke of Austria (25 April 1211 - June 15, 1246).
7. Constance of Austria (April 6, 1212 - June 5, 1243). Married Heinrich III of Meißen.
