Byzantine Empire

"For Basil I, - says Dmitry Obolensky - the prospect of becoming father-in- heir to the Byzantine throne must have seemed doubly attractive: to "vasileopatora" could bring not only honors but also the power of the court in the hierarchy of the Byzantine Empire. For its part, the imperial government in search for allies in the face of Turkish threats (and the Turks captured large parts of the empire, and recently lifted the siege of Constantinople) was considering Russia as a source of financial aid and used for this purpose appointed by the Byzantine church of the Moscow primates as their agents. The marriage between John and Anna Paleologue Moscow was so beneficial to both parties. " Guess what the Byzantine government issued initiator of the marriage of Anne and John finds support in the "History" Michael Duque. He writes: "The Emperor Manuel, using established safety and not having on his way to who interfered with (ie, the Sultan of Turkey Muhammed, whom Manuel in 1413 made peace), wished to arrange a marriage to his son John, and by sending an embassy to the King of Russia, took as a bride's daughter. Hoops her and changed his name to her Anna, did not wish at the same time crown of the kingdom, because the girl was only eleven years old (according to Roman-Byzantine law, marriage and twelve years was not considered legitimate). By the end of three years, when the capital was struck by the plague and many people died, Queen Anne died, and, leaving his great sorrow among the residents. " All the above gives the right to assert that the involvement of Russian princesses to the Byzantine throne as the Empress is very likely.

Anna not only spent several years at vizayntiyskom yard, but was the mistress of the sacred palace Blachernae. What were her relationships with her royal husband, and with the Byzantine court, is difficult in the absence of sources in this account. It seems, however, that Anna left a good memory of the Byzantines. At the very least, the words of Dookie "great sorrow", as well as a comforting speech about it, addressed to the emperor, and delivered in presence of the patriarch and the highest dignitaries prominent Byzantine writer and philosopher Joseph Vrienniem probably not the usual tribute to the Byzantine rhetoric. Respectful and, I would say, loving attitude to the Russian princess that "through" in these words, in contrast, for example, with skepticism by the Byzantines successor of Anna, second wife of John, to "latinyanke" Sophia Monferratskoy, of which the same Duca did not find anything better to say, except the "front office, behind Easter."
