Anna Dalassene Regent of Byzantium ¹¹⁵⁴

  Notater:

Anna Dalassene (ca. 1025/30 - 1 November 1100/02) was an important Byzantine noblewoman who played a significant role in the rise to power of the Komnenoi in the eleventh century. As Augusta, a title bestowed upon her by her son, Alexios I Komnenos, rather than his empress-consort she guided the empire during his many absences for long military campaigns against Turkish and other incursions into the Byzantine empire. As empress-mother, she exerted more influence and power than the empress-consort, Irene Doukaina, a woman whom she hated because of past intrigues with the Doukas family.

Anna blev gift med John/Ioannes Komnenos patrikios, søn af Manuel Erotikos Komnenos Officer of Basil og Maria, omkring 1044. (John/Ioannes Komnenos patrikios blev født omkring 1015 og døde den 12 Jul. 1067.)
