Theodora Angelina
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : Theodora Angelina
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 Vlachs and Bulgarians. Her father had died in Vlach-Bulgarian captivity not many months earlier.
A few years later she became one of the wives of a rival warlord, Dobromir.
Later, after the Fourth Crusade brought about the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, Theodora married Leopold VI of Austria. Leopold and Theodora had seven children (according to Varzos, cited below):
- Frederick II of Austria (1201 - June 15, 1246).
- Margarita of Austria (1204 - February 28, 1266).
- Agnes of Austria (February 19, 1205 - August 29, 1226). Married Albert II, Duke of Saxony.
- Leopold of Austria (1207 - 1216).
- Henry of Austria (1208 - November 28, 1288).
- Gertrude of Austria (1210 - 1241).
- Constance of Austria (April 6, 1212 - June 5, 1243). Married Heinrich III of Meißen.
