Maria (died 751) was the second Empress consort of Constantine V of the Byzantine Empire.
Empress
Constantine V was Emperor since 741. His first wife Tzitzak gave birth to their only known son, Leo IV the Khazar, on 25 January 750. There is no further mention of her and by the following year, Constantine was already married to Maria. Lynda Garland has suggested Tzitzak died in childbirth.[1]
Maria married Constantine between 750 and 751. According to the Chronographikon syntomon of Ecumenical Patriarch Nikephoros I of Constantinople, her death occurred at about the same time her stepson Leo IV the Khazar was crowned co-emperor (6 June 751) and her husband recovered Melitene. The reasons for her early death are unknown.
Maria died childless. Constantine would proceed to marry Eudokia and have six more children.
