Emperor and Church in the Last Centuries of Byzantium
This study discusses relations between the Church and the emperor in the last two centuries of the Byzantine empire's existence, in the Palaiologan period (thirteenth to fifteenth centuries). It questions the accepted view that the Church rose in importance and status as imperial power and authority declined. According to this view, expressed by Steven Runciman and accepted by historians since, a strong Church was the legacy of the Byzantine empi…
The Pen and the Sword
This chapter discusses the questions such as how Anna's work relates to that of other Byzantine writers of history in style and in content, how reliable it is in reconstructing the events of Alexios's reign, how it compares with the other narrative account of Alexios's reign written in the twelfth century by John Zonaras and, last but not least, whether Anna's being a woman affects her presentation in any way.

The Byzantine Godfather
Ties of ritual kinship have long been the object of interest and intensive study by anthropologists who have shown their ceremonial, social and economic significance but also the great variety which exists cross-culturally. Historians of Renaissance Italy and the mediaeval west have taken up the investigation, discovering spiritual relationships to be valuable indicators of the range and type of social contacts
The New Constantine and the New Constantinople – 1261
On 15 August 1261 the emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos, born, raised, and crowned in ‘exile’ during the Latin occupation of Constantinople, entered the newly reconquered capital for the first time. Michael carefully planned the ceremonial surrounding his entrance into Constantinople, choosing as his day of entry the feast day of the Dormition of the Virgin, the City’s protectress, and giving her icon, known as the Hodegetria, a place of honour in…
