Theodora Megali Komnena

Theodora Megali Komnena (Greek: Θεοδώρα Μεγάλη Κομνηνή, Theodōra Megalē Komnēnē, c. 1238, Trebizond – 17 October 1309, Constantinople) was a Byzantine empress by marriage to Byzantine emperor Theodore II Laskaris. Theodora is regarded as one of the most influential Byzantine empresses, particularly during her widowhood in her role as Augusta, when she acted as the Laskarid matriarch at court and opposed the rule of emperors Romanos V and Romanos VI Melissenos. She is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
