Theodore was the third son of John I Doukas, ruler of Thessaly by his wife, who is only known by her monastic name Hypomone ("Patience"). When John died in or shortly before 1289, he was succeeded by Theodore's older brother Constantine, but Theodore served as his co-ruler. Initially, the two brothers were under the tutelage of Anna Palaiologina Kantakouzene as they were underage. Awarded the title of sebastokrator from the Byzantine emperor in 1295, he was scheduled to marry the Armenian princess Theophano, daughter of King Leo II, but this project fell through. He was defeated in battle by the Byzantine general Michael Doukas Glabas Tarchaneiotes, and died in c. 1299.
