[1] According to the chronicle of Theophanes the Confessor, Eudokia was a sister-in-law of Michael Melissenos, strategos of the Anatolikon Theme.
His first wife Tzitzak gave birth to their only known son, Leo IV the Khazar, on 25 January 750.
The following day two of her sons were named Caesars and a third made nobilissimus, which would place the ceremony several years following their marriage.
On the occasion of the marriage of Leo VI the Wise to his own third wife Eudokia Baïana in 899, George Alexandrovič Ostrogorsky points that a third marriage was technically illegal under Byzantine law and against the practices of the Eastern Orthodox Church at the time.
Constantine was a fervent iconoclast and specifically targeted monasteries as strongholds of Iconodule sentiment.
