Dear Don,
Many thanks for this.One more funny thing the necrology for Eirene the
daughter is in Speyer Cathedral, but ES gives she was buried in Kloster
Lorsch.
With best wishes and many thanks.

In ES Volume II Tafel 179 the Angeloi family is recorded. There is
Emperor Isaac II and with him his two wives.
Wife nr 1 is NN
their children, Alexios IV, an unnamed daughter, and Eirene (Maria)
Wife nr 2 is Margaretha of Hungary
their children Manuel and Ioannes
I understand that in Byzantium children were not named after their
parents, BUT daughter Eirene has on her necrology the name of her mother
recorded, and it appears that NN is Herina (Eirene).
Could the mother's name have been a monastic one? Was she perhaps
divorced by Isaac II ? There doesn't seem to be any record of this first
wife of Isaac II. Does anyone know?

Leo,
In December of 2005 John Ravilious assembled a good anthology of SGM
discussions about the mother of Eirene; see
