Irene Doukaina

Irene Doukaina
   Wife and empress (q.v.) of Alexios I Komnenos (q.v.) and mother of Anna Komnene, John II Komnenos (qq.v.), and seven other children. Anna Komnene describes her beauty as equal to the goddess Athena. Irene frequently attended Alexios I on military campaigns, but back in Constantinople (q.v.) her role was diminished by the influence of Alexios I's mother, Anna Dalassene (q.v.). She retired to a convent in 1118, when John II Komnenos succeeded his father.
