en-wikipedia-org-6724		Zoë Porphyrogenita - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	3834	533	74	She was the second daughter of Constantine VIII and his wife Helena.[3] Her father became co-emperor, at the age of two, in 962.[4] His brother Basil II, the senior co-ruler, prevented his nieces from marrying any of the Byzantine nobility, as this would have given their husbands a claim on the imperial throne. As an eligible imperial princess Zoë was considered a possible bride for the Holy Roman Emperor, Otto III, in 996.[7] A second embassy sent in 1001, headed by Arnulf II, Archbishop of Milan,[8] was tasked with selecting Otto's bride from among Constantine's three daughters. Zoë and Michael were married on the same day that Romanos III died.[5] The next day they summoned the Patriarch Alexios I to officiate at the coronation of the new emperor.[22] Although he initially refused to co-operate, the payment of 50 pounds of gold helped change his mind.[5] He proceeded to crown Michael as the new emperor of the Romans, to reign as Michael IV until his death in 1041.[23][24]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6724.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6724.txt
