Eudokia made a nun & exiled by Michael VII with her other children to her convent of Piperoudion

Summary:
Michael VII was proclaimed sole emperor and enthroned in the Chrysotriklinos by the kaisar Ioannes and his sons Andronikos and Konstantinos, who removed Michael's mother Eudokia from power and banished her. They were supported by some senators led by Psellos. She was forced to turn from empress into nun and to exchange the gilded imperial garments for black, and was banished outside the city moving from one place to another with her other children, ending at the convent of Piperoudion (Kyperoudes) across the Bosporos which she had founded herself. Her other sons, the new emperor's brothers, were badly treated. Her daughters, Michael VII's sisters, though of marriageable age, were not allowed to marry
