Anna Porphyrogenita 1 2
- Born: 963
- Marriage: Vladimir I Svyatoslavich the Holy of Kiev in 989
- Died: 1011 aged 48
Research Notes:
... Vladimir offered 6,000 men of his army as reinforcements to Basil. In exchange Vladimir demanded to be married to Basil's younger sister Anna (963 - 1011). At first, Basil hesitated. The Byzantines viewed the Rus as barbarians and Anna herself objected to marrying a barbarian ruler. But under Vladimir's pressure, Basil finally had to agree. Vladimir and Anna were married in 989.
Anna married Vladimir I Svyatoslavich the Holy of Kiev, son of Svyatoslav I Igoryevich of Kiev and Matuscha, in 989. (Vladimir I Svyatoslavich the Holy of Kiev was born circa 956 in Kiev, Kievan Rus [now in Ukraine], christened in 989 and died on 15 Jul 1015 in Berestova, near Kiev.)
