Theodora was born in Constantinople on 15 January 1096, the fourth of the five daughters of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos and Irene Doukaina. She had a total of eight siblings; among these were Emperor John II Komnenos, and historian Anna Komnene. Her paternal grandparents were Ioannis Komnenos and Anna Dalassena, and her maternal grandparents were Andronikos Doukas and Maria of Bulgaria.
Theodora married Konstantinos Angelos (c.1085- after July 1166) sometime before 1120. He was the son of Manolis Angelos, and a military commander of Emperor Manuel I and would later in 1145 become the commander of the Imperial fleet in Sicily. Byzantine historian Niketas Choniates names Theodoram Alexii avi Manuelis filiam as the wife of Constantium Angelum.[2] Together Konstantinos and Theodora had seven recorded children, although there were possibly eight children born to the couple:[2]
Theodora Komnene died on an unknown date. Among her numerous descendants was Irene Angelina, wife of Philip of Swabia; thus Theodora is an ancestress of every royal house in Europe.
