Life
She was engaged to Robert I, Latin Emperor in 1221, but the marriage was blocked by the Patriarch of Constantinople Manuel I. Her first marriage was with Frederick II, Duke of Austria. They would divorce, and before 1230 she would marry again, to Anseau de Cayeux, later regent of the Latin Empire (1237–1238).[2]
In 1247, Anseau assigned to her custody of the city of Tzurulon in the hope that it would not be attacked by John III Doukas Vatatzes, who was married to Eudokia's sister Irene Laskarina.[3]
Her name was Eudokia, but in one western source, related to her Austrian marriage, she is mentioned as Sophia.[4]
