  • Notes 
    • Theophano (Greek: Θεοφανώ, Theophanō; 941 – after 978) was a Greek woman from the region of Laconia,[1] who became Byzantine empress by marriage to emperors Romanos II and Nikephoros II. In 963, between the deaths of Romanos and her marriage to Nikephoros, she was regent for her sons, Basil II and Constantine VIII. Theophano historically has been depicted as infamous.
