Perhaps the most famous Byzantine woman, however, was a historian. Anna Komnene was a strong-willed Byzantine princess, born in the imperial palace and the daughter of a sitting emperor, who even tried to overthrow her brother as emperor.
The Alexiad of Anna Komnene is a masterpiece of Byzantine historiography, which the first Komnenian princess wrote over the course of almost twenty years in the middle of the twelfth century (ca. 1138-ca. 1153).¹ Its central narrative theme presents a history of the reign of Alexios I Komnenos (1081-1118), the founder of the Komnenian dynasty.
