Шаблон:Short description Helena Angelina Komnene (Шаблон:Lang-el) was a daughter of the Greek sebastokrator John I Doukas, ruler of Thessaly in ca. 1268–1289, and a Greek princess of Aromanian origin, known only by her monastic name, Hypomone.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In 1275, the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos sent a large army to subdue her recalcitrant father. The Byzantine army besieged John's capital of Neopatras, but he managed to flee and seek the aid of the Duke of Athens, John I de la Roche (r. 1263–1280). John I gave the necessary aid to the sebastokrator, in exchange for the marriage of Helena to his brother, William I de la Roche, the future Duke of Athens (r. 1280–1287). The Duchy also acquired the towns of Siderokastron, Zeitounion, Gravia, and Gardiki as her dowry.Шаблон:Sfn

The couple had a son, Guy II de la Roche (r. 1287–1308).Шаблон:Sfn Following William's death, Helena served as regent for her underage son until his coming of age.Шаблон:Sfn In 1289, she refused to recognize the suzerainty of the new Prince of Achaea, Florent of Hainaut, and the Angevin King of Naples, Charles II, as the common liege-lord of all Frankish states in Greece, had to force her to submit.Шаблон:Sfn In 1291 she married Hugh of Brienne, Count of Lecce,Шаблон:Sfn who became the bailli of the Athenian duchy. This allowed Helena once again to challenge Achaen suzerainty, and insist on her right to do homage directly to the King of Naples. Charles II vacillated, but in the end Florent of Hainaut prevailed, and when Guy II of Athens came of age in 1296, he recognized Florent and his wife, Isabella of Villehardouin, as his liege-lords.Шаблон:Sfn
