Eudoxia Komnene

d) EVDOKIA Komnene. Niketas Choniates names "Alexius, Andronicus et…Isaacius" as the three brothers of Emperor Manuel, stating that Andronikos left daughters "Mariam, Theodoram et Eudociam", adding that Evdokia became the mistress of Andronikos Komnenos after the death of her husband[324]. This must refer to a first marriage which is unrecorded elsewhere, as her marriage to Mikhael Gabras is recorded subsequent to her affair with Andronikos Komnenos.

Europäische Stammtafeln[325] suggests that Evdokia married firstly ([1140/42], divorced 1149) Thoros II Lord of the Mountains, but there seems to be no basis for this. Rüdt-Collenberg says that "a first marriage with a Byzantine princess, mentioned by Tchamitch for the years 1140-1142, is more than doubtful"[326]. In any case, assuming that the report by Niketas Choniates is correct, Evdokia's first marriage was ended by the death of her husband, not divorce. In a later passage, Niketas Choniates records the marriage of "Eudocia Comnenia Andronici amica" and "Michæle…Gabra"[327]. Ioannes Kinnamos records that "Michael cognomento Gabras" married "ex fratre Manuelis neptim"[328].

m firstly --- (-1150 or before). The identity of Evdokia's first husband is not known.

Mistress ([1150/52]) of her cousin ANDRONIKOS Komnenos, who later succeeded as Emperor ANDRONIKOS I.

m secondly ([1152/53]) MIKHAEL Gabras, son of --- (-after 1170). Sébastos.
