Fabia Eudokia

Eudokia or Eudocia (; c. 580 – 13 August 612), originally named Fabia, was a Greek woman who became Eastern Roman empress as the first wife of Heraclius from 610 to her death. She was a daughter of Rogas, a landowner in the Exarchate of Africa, according to Theophanes the Confessor.

Death Eudokia died on 13 August 612. According to the Chronographikon syntomon of Ecumenical Patriarch Nikephoros I of Constantinople, the cause of death was epilepsy. According to Nikephoros, her funeral was accompanied with an incident revealing how popular she was with the general populace. A maidservant spat out of an upstairs window while the funeral procession was just below it. The coffin was still open, and the saliva reached the robes of the corpse. The crowds took offense and burned the girl alive.
