Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Zoewas Empress of the Byzantine Empire with co-rulers November 15, 1028 1050, and senior reigning Empress from April 19 to June 11, 1042.Zoe was one of the few Byzantine empresses who was Porphyrogenita, or "born into the purple" (that is, as the child of a reigning emperor). She was the daughter of Constantine VIII and Helena, daughter of Alypius. Her father had become co-emperor in 962, and sole emperor in 1025. He reigned for only three years between December 15, 1025 and November 15, 1028. Worried by the prospect of associating another man with the imperial house, Constantine VIII prevented his daughters from marrying until the very end of his life; however, it was probably Zoe the Byzantine princess who was sent to Italy in order to marry with Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor, but his early death in 1002 prevented the union.
