Maria of Bulgaria (d. after 1081), protovestiaria, was the wife of protovestiarios Andronikos Doukas and mother of Irene Doukaina.

'''NOTE: Protovestiarios: Honorific title given to high-ranking officials'''

Life

Maria was a daughter of Troian of Bulgaria by an unnamed Byzantine noblewoman descended from the families of Kontostephanos and Phokas. Her paternal grandparents were Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria and his wife Marija. Her paternal uncles included Presian II of Bulgaria and Alusian of Bulgaria.
Maria married Andronikos Doukas well before 1066. Her husband was a son of the Caesar John Doukas and Eirene Pegonitissa. He was also a nephew of Constantine X and first cousin of Michael VII.
Maria was endowed with an inheritance of vast land holdings around Lake Ohrid, and her considerable income was used to support her husband's lavish lifestyle and political ambitions.
Her prominent marriage is another evidence to the integration of descendants of the Kometopouloi into the court nobility in Constantinople.
As mother of the Empress Irene Doukaina, Maria was a woman of some influence in the early years of the reign of Alexios I Komnenos. Her granddaughter Anna Komnene praises her beauty and wisdom in the Alexiad.

# Michael Doukas.

Life[edit]
Maria was a daughter of Troian of Bulgaria by an unnamed Byzantine noblewoman descended from the families of Kontostephanos and Phokas, and a granddaughter of Ivan Vladislav of Bulgaria.

Maria married Andronikos Doukas well before 1066. Her husband was a son of the Caesar John Doukas, a major power player in Byzantine politics of the era, and Eirene Pelagonitissa. He was also a nephew of Constantine X and first cousin of Michael VII.

Maria was endowed with an inheritance of vast land holdings around Lake Ohrid, and her considerable income was used to support her husband's lavish lifestyle and political ambitions. As the last descendants of the ruling family ofBulgaria, Maria and her daughters Irene and Anna, who married the first notable member of the Palaiologos family, carried not only immense wealth but also legitimisation of Byzantine authority over the Bulgarian population: her (and her daughters') prominent marriages are evidence for the eventual integration of the descendants of the Cometopuli dynasty into the court nobility in Constantinople.

As mother of the Empress Irene Doukaina, Maria was a woman of some influence in the early years of the reign of Alexios I Komnenos, although she, as a widow, shunned the Imperial court and chose to live in her Lake Ohrid estate. Her granddaughter Anna Komnene praises her beauty and wisdom in the Alexiad.

Maria, widow of John Vladislav, took over the government when he died in 1018. She abdicated a short time later, ending the First Bulgarian Kingdom, which then came under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire 1018 to 1186. Under Basil II.

Maria of Bulgaria abdicated her throne shortly after taking over the government after her husband John Vladislav died. Her country was taken over by Basil II of the Byzantine Empire. The Second Bulgaria Kingdom didn't begin until 1186 when the brothers Peter and Ivan Asen took over from the Byzantines.
