Zoe Zaoutzaina

[1] She was the daughter of Stylianos Zaoutzes (Στυλιανὸς Ζαούτζης),[2] a high-ranking bureaucrat during the reign of her husband.

Theophanes records Theodore being poisoned, implicating Leo VI in his early demise.

Symeon the Metaphrast records Leo falling in love with her in the third year of his reign, placing their meeting c. 889.

In the seventh year of his reign (c. 893), Theophano retired to a monastery in the Blachernae suburb of Constantinople.

Providing both references were accurate, her remains were moved from the original burial place to that of her husband.
