Nikeforos Bryennios names (in order) "Maria, Eudocia et Theodora" as the three daughters of "Ioanni" and his wife Anna. Nikeforos Bryennios records the marriage of "Ioannes…Comnenus curopalates…maior…natu [filia] Maria" and "Taronitæ Michaeli". Her origin is also deduced from the Alexeiad naming "Mikhael" as the husband of the niece of the Komnenoi brothers, although the text does not name her or her daughter. The relationship is clarified in a later passage which records that "Taronites…had married the emperor's sister Maria".
She became a nun as ANNA. The list of obituaries of the monastery of Christ Philanthropos, founded by Empress Eirene Doukas, records the death 18 Aug of "kyras Marias tis autadelfou tou basileos". 1
