Flavia Ptochoprodroma

Flavia Ptochoprodroma (Greek: Φλάβια Πτωχοπροδρομα; ca. 1097 – 21 February 1140) was an important Byzantine noblewoman who married Emir Muhammad ibn Mansur. In Arabic sources, she is referred to as Emira Fahlab at-Tuqbiramiyyah.

Early life and family
Flavia was the daughter of an unknown yet noble couple who served the Emperor in Brontium. The date of Flavia's birth is unknown but is placed around the year 1097. She was said to be among few women to exert a lasting impact on the Taifa's History.

When Sukhrah al-Luqabiyyah saw that Muhammad was young enough to marry; she decided to get him married to a Byzantine lady, to prevent herself from politics of a foreign lady. Flavia happened to be the best match for the Emir.

They married in 1118 and she gave birth to two sons, both of them future Emirs.
