生平 
安娜·科穆宁娜1083年出生于君士坦丁堡的紫色寝宫中。在其早年的生活中，安娜接受到了良好的教育，她学习了文学、修辞和科学，饱读古希腊哲学，还在导师的帮助下学习了历史、医学、天文学，数学。

其父阿历克塞一世最初选定米海尔七世的儿子君士坦丁·杜卡斯为其继承人，并让他与安娜定下了婚约。但后来长子约翰出生，王位继承权就转给了约翰。君士坦丁·杜卡斯去世之后，1097年，安娜与尼基弗魯斯·布林尼烏斯结婚，安娜与皇后伊琳娜开始出来反对阿历克塞一世的继承人计划。安娜与皇后试图说服阿历克塞一世将皇位转让给布林尼乌斯，但阿历克塞一世还是设法将皇位传给约翰，而约翰也靠着自己的能力保住了皇位继承人的位置。于是安娜开始策划反对其弟弟的阴谋，后来阴谋败露，安娜被迫退出政争。在退出宫廷斗争之后，安娜专心于历史的研究，并仿照古代的风格写出了《阿历克塞传》。南斯拉夫的拜占庭历史研究者奥斯特洛格尔斯基评价这本书是“拜占庭人文主义的杰出见证”，并且为后世研究拜占庭历史提供了宝贵的材料。
