安娜·科穆宁娜

**安娜・科穆寧娜**（希臘語：Ἄννα Κομνηνή，1083 年 12 月 1 日 —1153 年），東羅馬帝國皇帝阿歷克塞一世的女兒，也是歐洲歷史上最早的女性歷史學家之一，她根據父親阿歷克塞一世的一生著有《阿歷克塞傳》（希臘語：Ἀλεξιάς），這是研究拜占庭帝國歷史的重要史料之一。

## 生平

安娜・科穆寧娜 1083 年出生於君士坦丁堡的紫色寢宮中。在其早年的生活中，安娜接受到了良好的教育，她學習了文學、修辭和科學，飽讀古希臘哲學，還在導師的幫助下學習了歷史、醫學、天文學，數學。
其父阿歷克塞一世最初選定米海爾七世的兒子君士坦丁・杜卡斯為其繼承人，並讓他與安娜定下了婚約。但後來長子約翰出生，王位繼承權就轉給了約翰。君士坦丁・杜卡斯去世之後，1097 年，安娜與尼基弗魯斯・布林尼烏斯結婚，安娜與其丈夫、皇后伊琳娜開始出來反對阿歷克塞一世的繼承人計劃。安娜與皇后試圖說服阿歷克塞一世將皇位轉讓給布林尼烏斯，但阿歷克塞一世還是設法將皇位傳給約翰，而約翰也靠著自己的能力保住了皇位繼承人的位置。於是安娜開始策劃反對其弟弟的陰謀，後來陰謀敗露，安娜被迫退出政爭。在退出宮廷鬥爭之後，安娜專心於歷史的研究，並仿照古代的風格寫出了《阿歷克塞傳》。南斯拉夫的拜占庭歷史研究者奧斯特洛格爾斯基評價這本書是「拜占庭人文主義的傑出見證」，並且為後世研究拜占庭歷史提供了寶貴的材料。
