Notizen zu dieser Person
Maria of Bulgaria (d. after 1081), protovestiaria, was the wife of protovestiarios Andronikos Doukas and mother of Irene Doukaina.
Maria was a daughter of Troian of Bulgaria by an unnamed Byzantine noblewoman descended from the families of Kontostephanos and Phokas, and was granddaughter of Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria.
Maria married Andronikos Doukas well before 1066. Her husband was a son of the Caesar John Doukas, a major power player in Byzantine politics of the era, and Eirene Pelagonitissa. He was also a nephew of Constantine X and first cousin of MichaelVII.
Maria was endowed with an inheritance of vast land holdings around Lake Ohrid, and her considerable income was used to support her husband's lavish lifestyle and political ambitions.
Her prominent marriage is another evidence to the integration of Descendants of the Kometopouloi into the court nobility in Constantinople.
As mother of the Empress Irene Doukaina, Maria was a woman of some influence in the early years of the reign of Alexios I Komnenos. Her granddaughter Anna Komnene praises her beauty and wisdom in the Alexiad. Maria's other daughter, Anna, married into the powerful Palaiologos family.
Maria of Bulgaria and Andronikos Doukas had five children:
Michael Doukas.
John Doukas.
Irene Doukaina, who married Emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
Anna Doukaina, who married George Palaiologos.
Theodora Doukaina, a nun.
