About Zoe Doukaina

8. ZOE Doukaina (1062-28 Aug before 1136). Mikhael Glykas names "Annam, Theodoram et Zoen" as the daughters of Emperor Konstantinos & his wife[664]. The Alexeiad names "the Porphyrogenita Zoe" as daughter of Empress Eudoxia, suggesting that her mother planned to marry her to Emperor Nikeforos Botaneiates after the latter's accession in 1078[665]. She was named "Anna" in a poem concering the ancestors of Giorgios Palaiologos. Magdalino and Cheynet both assume that this was her monastic name, but it may be a mistake resulting from confusion with her sister of the same name[666]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. The list of obituaries of Empress Eirene Doukas's family records the death "28 Aug, Porphyrogenita Zoe"[667].
