Parentage

Added clean-up tag. The page has incorrect parentage which I do not have knowledge to fix. It has confised the Evdokia who marries William of Montpellier with another Evdokia according to: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/gen-medieval/2002-07/1027945647.

It looks as though no parentage is certain. The possibilities are set out at the Medlands site. So, yes, the article does need revising to make clear how much doubt exists. Andrew Dalby 09:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A change today removed some text and made Evdokia the daughter of a nephew of Manuel I Komnenos. I think several parentages are possible; what we need is not to insist on one but to give references for the various options. Since there was no reference attached to this change, I've reverted for the present. Let's discuss. Andrew Dalby 11:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's now claiming her father is Alexios II Komnenos, which just isn't possible, since according to his page, his birth was in 1169, and his so-called daughter was born 1160. His page also claims he only lived to age 14 and had no issue. Which article is correct? Eudokia's page also claims her father Alexios was the lover of Maria of Antioch, yet his article says she was his mother. Why is this still an issue 5 years later? If Eudokia's parentage is uncertain, her page should just say so. --Robin (talk) 16:46, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
