About Anna Palaiologina
Lived 1201 – 1321 (aged 119–120). Anna Palaiologina was a Byzantine.
Anna Palaiologina (died 1320; ) was a Byzantine princess and queen-consort (basilissa) of the Despotate of Epirus.
She was a daughter of the Byzantine co-emperor Michael IX Palaiologos and his wife, Rita of Armenia. In 1304, her hand was sought by the Epirote regent, Anna Palaiologina Kantakouzene, for her son Thomas I Komnenos Doukas. The marriage eventually took place in ca. 1307, bringing Epirus closer to the rulers of Constantinople. Orsini then took Anna as his wife, despite her technically now being his aunt.
