  Theophanu - Definition, explanation
Theophanu (956 - June 15, 991) (Greek:"Θεοφανώ" Theophano) was born in Constantinople, was the wife of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor.
Theophanu duly arrived in 972, and is identified in the marriage contract as the neptis (niece or granddaughter) of Emperor John I Tzimisces.
It is unlikely that Theophanu was the daughter of any emperor -- the current theory is that her father was Konstantinos Skleros (brother of the pretender Bardos Skleros) and her mother was Sophia Phokaina (niece of Emperor Nicephorus II and the sister of Tzimisces' wife Maria Skleraina).

A Byzantine Princess, probably the niece of John Tsimisces, Theophanu was married to the Holy Roman Emperor Otto II (955-983) and crowned Empress in Rome at her wedding.
By all accounts Theophanu was an enormously capable ruler who managed to secure the throne for her under-aged son, whilst consolidating the power of the HRE at the same time.
She is buried in Cologne, Germany in the church of St.Pantaleon where annually on the anniversary of her death, a mass in both the Catholic and the Orthodox rite is celebrated.
