About Theodora Laskarina

d) THEODORA Laskarina (-after 1273). Georgius Akropolites names "Ioannem…Theodoram et Eudociam" as the three remaining unmarried children of Emperor Theodoros II[181]. Ephræmius names "parvulum Ioannem…duasque virgunculas, Eudociam…ac Theodoram" as the three children still remaining at home when "Theodorus" died[182]. Pachymeres records that "pueri Ioannis sorores germanas…unam" married "nobili Latino Malo de Belicarto" and that "tertiam" married "Bulgaro Sphentisthlabo…circa Hæmum regionis in Mysia principi"[183]. As Georgius Akropolites (a contemporary) only names four sisters in total, it is likely that two of the three marriages recorded by Pachymeres relate to the same daughter. As Evdokia left south-eastern Europe after her marriage (see below), it is more likely that Theodora's (first) husband died early and that she was the daughter who married the Bulgarian prince. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified.

m firstly (after 1258) MATHIEU de Mons Baron of Velligosti in Morea, son of --- (-before 1264).

m secondly (1273) JAKOV SVETOSLAV Tsar of the Bulgarians, son of --- (-murdered [1275/77]).


A Bulgarian boyar, Despot Jacob Svetoslav, married Theodore's unnamed daughter, according to Pachymeres. She may have been Theodore's illegitimate daughter, because other Byzantine historians failed to mention her.[77]

He married a daughter of Theodore II Laskaris from his marriage with Tsar Ivan Asen II's daughter Elena.
