ANNA YAROSLAVNA Anna Yaroslavna was born in 1036, one of three daughters of Yaroslav the Wise the prince of famous Kievan Rus. She married French king Henry the First to Rheims around 1049, in a political act of union. Unlike many of modern Ukrainian girls who go west in search of a better life, and quite often through marriage. Anna was far from being impressed with what she found in France, finding it less sophisticated than the city she had left behind. It is important to remember the Kyiv Russ was one of the European great powers. Indeed, Henry I had sought Anna's hand in marriage so as to weaken the power of an increasingly aggressive Holy Roman Empire. So when Anna arrived in Paris, she did not come as a modern-day country girl staring in disbelief at Charles De Gaulle airport but a young woman from one of the most influential royal houses in the entire continent. And she knew it. Anna's doubts concerning the civility of French courtly life were no doubt confirmed when the nobility responded in amazement to the young princess ability to read and write as well as to speak three languages fluently. The court was surprised that a woman could be capable of such feats whereas Anna may well have been appalled that a state which was supposedly one of the western inheritors of the Roman Empire had sunk to such primitive depths. Anna bore four children for Henry the First, ‘Hugh The Great’ Crepi, Philip I, Emma Princess of France and Robert Prince of Prance. Henry was rather a feckless ruler, surrounding himself with a circle of personal favourites, leaving a great deal of power in the hands of the ambitious Anna. Throughout the 1050s, she put her signature, next to the clumsy crosses of French powerbrokers to many important state documents and when Henry died in 1060, acted as regent for her son Philip, a remarkable achievement, giving that the position of regent was sought after by a whole host of powerful aristocrats. Perhaps one of the ways Anna held onto power was through her relationship with the influential French count, Raoul of Valois. There are rumors that the two were married but what â certain is that Anna openly lived with him. Whether it was love or not we will never know, but in doing so Anna was able to secure power for herself and her son. | |||||||||||
