from
Wikipedia
Isaac II Angelos strengthened his position as emperor with dynastic marriages in 1185 and 1186.
His niece, Eudokia Angelina, was married to Stefan, son of Stefan Nemanja of Serbia.
Isaac's sister, Theodora, was married to the Italian marquis Conrad of Montferrat.
In January 1186 Isaac himself married Margaret of Hungary ( renamed Maria ), daughter of King Béla III.
Hungary was one of the Empire's largest and most powerful neighbours, and Margaret also had the benefit of high aristocratic descent, being related to the royal families of Kiev, the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, Provence, and earlier Byzantine dynasties.
