The chronicle of [[Symeon Metaphrastes]] places the marriage of Leo VI and Theophano in the sixteenth year of the reign of [[Basil I]] (c. 883). Basil was the official father of Leo VI by [[Eudokia Ingerina]]. However Eudokia was the mistress of his predecessor [[Michael III]] who was suspected to be the natural father of the prince.
 
In any case the marriage was arranged by Basil I and forced on Leo VI. The poor relation of father and son may have played a part in the eventual failure of this marriage. Basil died on [[29 August]], [[886]]. Leo became succeeded him to the throne and Theophano became his empress.
 
She was an educated and deeply religious woman. According to the Byzantine tradition of [[hagiography]] about her, Theophano devoted most of her days to [[prayer]]s, psalms and [[hymn]]s to [[God in Christianity|God]]. She was reportedly the builder of patron of the Monastery of St. Anastasia the Protector from Potions (Hagia Anastasia Pharmacolytria) in [[Heybeliada|Halki]] island, the second largest of the of the [[Princes' Islands]] in the [[Sea of Marmara]], near [[Constantinople]].
