This article is about a historical Byzantine Empress-Consort. For the sister of Krispos, see Evdokia.
|
Eudokia, daughter of Philaretos, count of the walls, was Justinian II's first wife. She died in childbirth. Heartbroken, Justinian couldn't bear to do anything with their daughter, Epiphaneia; nor could he have sexual relations with other women for some time after Eudokia's death.
Literary comment[]
Little of Eudokia is recorded, including her death. It may be that Eudokia predeceased Justinian, or that she divorced him. Her death in child-birth is a literary invention.
