Ioannes Kantakouzenos records the marriage of "Michael imperator…Theodoram [filiam]" and "Sphentisthlabo Mœsorum regi"[253].

Her second marriage was agreed under the terms of the 1324 peace agreement between Bulgaria and Emperor Andronikos II[255]. She became a nun as THEODOSIA. Ioannes Kantakouzenos records that "imperatoris Andronici soror, quondam Michaeli Mœsorum regi nupta…monasticam…Theodosia ex Theodora dicta" returned to her brother after the death of her [second] husband[256].
