Eudoxia Epiphania
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Eudoxia Epiphania (Template:Langx; also known as Epiphania, Eudocia or Eudokia) was the only daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius and his first wife Eudokia.
Life
She was born at Constantinople on July 7, 611, baptized on August 15, and crowned Augusta (in the oratory of St. Stephen in the palace) on October 4 of the same year.
When she was about 15 years old, her father allied with the Western Göktürks and the Khazars against the Sassanian Persians and the Eurasian Avars. To secure the assistance of the Turks, Eudoxia was promised in marriage to either the Turkic ruler Ziebel (probably Tong Yabghu) Template:Refn or his son. She was afterwards sent to her Turkic husband, but the news of his death stopped her journey, and prevented the consummation of the marriage.
She died before 4 January 639, since she is not named in the de ceremoniis of that day.
