Eudokia was a daughter of the sebastokrator sebastokrat r Isaac Komnenos d. 1154 Isaac Komnenos by his second wife, Irene Synadene. Her father was a son of Emperor John II Komnenos and Piroska of Hungary , the daughter of King Ladislaus I of Hungary .

Eudokia Komnene was sent to Provence by Manuel in 1174 to be betrothed to King Alfonso II of Aragon , but, on her arrival, she found that he had just married Sancha of Castile, Queen of Aragon Sancha of Castile . As the troubadour Peire Vidal put it, he had preferred a poor Castilian maid to the emperor Manuel s golden camel. After much indecision she married William VIII of Montpellier in 1179, having made it a condition to which all male citizens of Montpellier were required to swear that their firstborn child, boy or girl, would succeed him in the lordship of Montpellier. Eudokia was sometimes described by contemporaries, including the troubadours Folquet de Marselha and Guiraut de Bornelh , as an empress Occitan emperairitz and was commonly said to be a daughter of the emperor Manuel, which has led to some confusion among modern authors about her family links. Other sources, such as Guillaume de Puylaurens , correctly identify her as Manuel s niece. William and Eudokia had one daughter, Marie of Montpellier , born in 1181 or 1182. In 1187 William divorced her because she encouraged the advances of Folquet de Marselha, according to the Biographies des Troubadours because William wanted a male heir, according to documents likely to be more reliable .

Maria was then engaged to King William II of Sicily , but this engagement, too, was broken off by her father. Finally, in 1179, Maria was married to Renier of Montferrat , who was renamed John and given the title of Caesar title Caesar . After the death of the Emperor Manuel in 1180, Maria and Renier became involved in intrigues against Maria s stepmother, the Empress Maria of Antioch Maria Xene , who was ruling as regent for her young son, now Emperor Alexios II. A riot broke out against the empress, encouraged by Maria and Renier, but their attempt to seize power failed.
