Notes:

The negotiations for Anne's marriage to the 18-years-older King Henry took place in the late 1040s, after the death of Henry's first wife, Matilda of Frisia, and their only child. Due to the pressing need for an heir, and the Church's growing disapproval of consanguineous marriages, it became necessary for Henry to seek an unrelated bride. The Kievan Rus' was not unknown to the French. Yaroslav had married several of his children to Western rulers in an attempt to avoid the influence of the Byzantine Empire.

In the autumn of 1049 or the spring of 1050, Henry sent Bishop Gauthier of Meaux, Goscelin of Chauny, and other unnamed advisors to Yaroslav's court. It is possible that there were two diplomatic missions to the Rus at this time, with Roger of Chalons also present. No record of the marriage negotiations or the dowry arrangements survives, although Anne reportedly left Kiev with "rich presents". Gregorovich claims that part of the wealth she brought to France included the jacinth jewel that Abbot Suger later mounted on a reliquary of St. Denis. Anne left Kiev in the summer or fall of 1050 and traveled to Reims.

Anne of Kiev or Anna Yaroslavna (c. 1030 ? 1075) was a Rus' princess who became queen of France in 1051 upon marrying King Henry I. She ruled the kingdom as regent during the minority of their son Philip I from Henry's death in 1060 until her controversial marriage to Count Ralph IV of Valois. Anne founded the Abbey of St. Vincent at Senlis.

Anne was a daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev and Prince of Novgorod, and his second wife Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden. Her exact birthdate is unknown; Philippe Delorme has suggested 1027, while Andrew Gregorovich has proposed 1032, citing a mention in a Kievan chronicle of the birth of a daughter to Yaroslav in that year.

Anne's exact place in the birth order of her siblings is unknown, although she was almost certainly the youngest daughter. Little is known about Anne's childhood or education. It is assumed that she was literate, at least enough to write her name, because her signature in Cyrillic exists on a document from 1061. Delorme has pointed out that Yaroslav founded a number of schools in his kingdom and suggests that education was highly valued in his family, leading him to propose a significant level of education for Anne. Gregorovich has suggested that Anne learned French in preparation for her marriage to King Henry I of France.

Engagement
The negotiations for Anne's marriage to the 18-years-older King Henry took place in the late 1040s, after the death of Henry's first wife, Matilda of Frisia, and their only child. Due to the pressing need for an heir, and the Church's growing disapproval of consanguineous marriages, it became necessary for Henry to seek an unrelated bride. The Kievan Rus' was not unknown to the French. Yaroslav had married several of his children to Western rulers in an attempt to avoid the influence of the Byzantine Empire.

In the autumn of 1049 or the spring of 1050, Henry sent Bishop Gauthier of Meaux, Goscelin of Chauny, and other unnamed advisors to Yaroslav's court. It is possible that there were two diplomatic missions to the Rus at this time, with Roger of Chalons also present. No record of the marriage negotiations or the dowry arrangements survives, although Anne reportedly left Kiev with "rich presents". Gregorovich claims that part of the wealth she brought to France included the jacinth jewel that Abbot Suger later mounted on a reliquary of St. Denis. Anne left Kiev in the summer or fall of 1050 and traveled to Reims.

Queenship
Anne married Henry on 19 May 1051, during the feast of Pentecost. Henry was nearly twenty years older than Anne. Her wedding on 19 May 1051 followed the installation of Lietbert as bishop of Cambrai, and Anne was crowned immediately following the marriage ceremony, making her the first French queen to celebrate her coronation in Reims Cathedral.

Anne and Henry were married for nine years and had three sons: Philip, Robert (who died young), and Hugh. Anne is often credited with introducing the Greek name "Philip" to royal families of Western Europe, as she bestowed it on her first son; she might have imported this Greek name from her Eastern Orthodox culture. There may also have been a daughter, Emma, perhaps born in 1055; it is unknown if she married or when she died.

As queen, Anne would have had the privilege of participating in the royal council, but there are almost no records of her doing so. In one 1058 charter, Henry granted a privilege to a couple of villages associated with the monastery of Saint-Maur-des-Foss?s doing so "with the approval of my wife Anne and our children Philip, Robert, and Hugh." Anne seems to have possessed territories in the same region under the terms of her dower.

In 1059, King Henry began feuding with the Church over issues related to Gregorian Reform. During this time, Pope Nicholas II sent Queen Anne a letter counselling her to follow her conscience to right wrongs and intervene against oppressive violence, while also encouraging her to advocate with her husband so that he might govern with moderation. According to Delorme, some historians have interpreted this letter from the Pope as being indicative of Anne's conversion to Roman Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy.

Regency
Upon Henry's death on 4 August 1060, Philip succeeded to the throne. Count Baldwin V of Flanders, the husband of Henry's sister Adela, was assigned to be Philip's guardian. Anne may still have played an active role in government at that point; an act from 1060 shows her name following Philip's, and her name appears in four times as many charters as Baldwin's. She also hired Philip's tutor, who was known at court by a Greek title.

Queen Anne's only existing signature dates from this period, inscribed on a document issued at Soissons for the abbot of Saint Crepin le Grand [de], now held in the National Library of France. Under the symbol of the king, Anne added a cross and eight letters in Cyrillic, probably meaning "Anna Reina". Evidence for Anne's role in government, however, disappears in 1061, around the time she remarried. Her second husband was Count Ralph IV of Valois. This marriage was controversial because of the couple's affinity, as Ralph was Henry's cousin, and bigamy, since Ralph was still technically married to his second wife, Haquenez. Ralph was excommunicated for these transgressions. King Philip's advisers may have encouraged him to turn away from his mother, perhaps mistrusting Ralph's influence. Ralph began referring to himself as the king's stepfather in the late 1060s. He died in 1074, leaving Anne a widow once again.

In 1062, Anne gave a significant amount of money to restore a dilapidated chapel at Senlis, originally dedicated to St. Vincent of Saragossa, bequeathing lands and income to the new establishment so that the organization could sustain itself. She also wrote a letter explaining her reasons for dedicating the monastery. The letter betrays an adherence to Greek Orthodox theology. For instance, the term "Mary, mother of God" is used rather than the more common "Our Lady", perhaps referring to the Eastern concept of the Theotokos. Some scholars believe that Anne did not write this letter herself.

Death and aftermath

The exact date of Anne's death is unknown. Delorme believes that she died on 5 September? the day commemorated at Senlis? in 1075 (the year of her last signed document), while others have proposed 1080. A terminus ante quem is provided by a 1089 document of Philip I, which indicates that Anne had died by then.

In 1682, the Jesuit antiquary Claude-Francois Menestrier announced that he had discovered Anne's tomb at the Cistercian Abbey of Villiers. The discovery was subsequently disputed, as Villiers was not built until the thirteenth century, although it's possible Anne's remains had been moved there at some point following her death. Whatever monument may have been there was destroyed in the French Revolution.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, increased diplomatic contact between France and Russia led to a revived antiquarian interest in Anne, and a number of short biographies were published. In the 20th century, Anne became a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism. On the other hand, a film was produced in the Soviet Union, "Yaroslavna, the Queen of France" (1978), which was not related with "Ukrainian nationalism" in any way. An opera called "Anna Yaroslavna", written by Antin Rudnytsky, was first performed at Carnegie Hall in 1969. In 1998, the Ukrainian government issued a postage stamp in her honor. In 2005, the Government of Ukraine sponsored the construction of a bronze statue of Queen Anne at Senlis, which was unveiled by President Viktor Yushchenko on 22 June.

----------------------------------

There does not to be any certain proof of Anne's date of birth. The Wikipedia entry for Anne records her birth as being within the range of 1024 and 1036. The Society for Medieval Genealogy records her birth as occurring in 1036, though this is done without sources. Sources that the SfMG records for Anne's general information include:

Marriage to Henry: Hugonis Floriacensis, Liber qui Modernorum Regum Francorum continet Actus 10, MGH SS IX, p. 388.
Chronica Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium 1052, MGH SS XXIII, p. 789.

The large majority of well-researched websites place Anne's date of birth at around 1036. Meanwhile, Anne's birth location is uncertain. Her father lived in Veliky Novgorod (Russian: ????????) up until he relocated to Kiev (Old East Slavic: ?????, Russian: ????) in 1036. As Anne is presumed to have been born between 1024 and 1036, it is far more likely that she was born in Veliky Novgorod, however there is no evidence to support this claim. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kiev-1

Details taken from wikipedia

Philip I (23 May 1052 ? 29 July 1108), called the Amorous,[1] was King of the Franks from 1060 to 1108.

Philip first married Bertha of Holland in 1072.[6] Although the marriage produced the necessary heir, Philip fell in love with Bertrade de Montfort, the wife of Fulk IV, Count of Anjou. He repudiated Bertha (claiming she was too fat) and married Bertrade on 15 May 1092.[7] In 1094 following the synod of Autun, he was excommunicated by the papal representative, Hugh of Die, for the first time;[7] after a long silence, Pope Urban II repeated the excommunication at the Council of Clermont in November 1095.[8] Several times the ban was lifted as Philip promised to part with Bertrade, but he always returned to her; in 1104 Philip made a public penance and must have kept his involvement with Bertrade discreet.[9] In France, the king was opposed by Bishop Ivo of Chartres, a famous jurist.[10]

Philip's children with Bertha were:

Constance (1078 ? 14 September 1126), married Hugh I of Champagne before 1097[15] and then, after her divorce, to Bohemund I of Antioch in 1106.[16]
Louis VI of France (1 December 1081 ? 1 August 1137).[16]
Henry (1083 ? died young).
Philip's children with Bertrade were:

Philip, Count of Mantes (1093 ? fl. 1123),[17] married Elizabeth, daughter of Guy III of Montlh?ry[18]
Fleury, Seigneur of Nangis (1095 ? July 1119)[19]
Cecile (1097 ? 1145), married Tancred, Prince of Galilee[20] and then, after his death, to Pons of Tripoli.[21]

Philippe married Countess Bertha DE HOLLAND in 1071-1072 in Lle DE France, France. Bertha (daughter of Floris I, Count Of Holland and Gertrud, Princess Of Saxony) was born about 1054 in Vlaardingen, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands; died on 15 Oct 1094 in Montreuil-sur-Loir, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France; was buried in Couvent des Hautes Bruy?res, Saint-R?my-l'Honor?, Yvelines, ?le-de-France, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Philippe married Bertrada DE MONTFORT, Reine des Francs on 15 May 1092 in ?vreux, Eure, Upper Normandy, France. Bertrada was born in 1070 in Montfort, Eure, Haute-Normandie, France; died on 14 Feb 1117 in Fontevrault-L'abbaye, Maine-Et-Loire, Pays De La Loire, France; was buried in 1117 in Abbey of Hautes-Bruy?res, Saint-R?my-l'Honor?, Yvelines, ?le-de-France, France.

Notes:

Hugh I (1053 ? October 18, 1101), called Magnus or the Great, was a younger son of Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev and younger brother of Philip I.

He was in his own right Count of Vermandois, but an ineffectual leader and soldier, great only in his boasting.

Indeed, Steven Runciman is certain that his nickname Magnus (greater or elder), applied to him by William of Tyre, is a copyist's error, and should be Minus (younger), referring to Hugh as younger brother of the King of France.

In early 1096 Hugh and Philip began discussing the First Crusade after news of the Council of Clermont reached them in Paris. Although Philip could not participate, as he had been excommunicated, Hugh was said to have been influenced to join the Crusade after an eclipse of the moon on February 11, 1096.

That summer Hugh's army left France for Italy, where they would cross the Adriatic Sea into territory of the Byzantine Empire, unlike the other Crusader armies who were travelling by land. On the way, many of the soldiers led by fellow Crusader Emicho of Flonheim joined Hugh's army after Emicho was defeated by the Hungarians (under King Coloman I "The Booklover" at Moson fortress), whose land he had been pillaging.

Hugh crossed the Adriatic from Bari in Southern Italy, but many of his ships were destroyed in a storm off the Byzantine port of Dyrrhachium.

Hugh and most of his army was rescued and escorted to Constantinople, where they arrived in November 1096. Prior to his arrival (he would be the first to arrive in Constantinople), Hugh sent an arrogant, insulting letter to Eastern Roman Emperor Alexius I Comnenus, according to the Emperor's biography by his daughter (the Alexiad), demanding that Alexius meet with him:

"Know, O King, that I am King of Kings, and superior to all, who are under the sky. You are now permitted to greet me, on my arrival, and to receive me with magnificence, as befits my nobility."[1]

Alexius was already wary of the armies about to arrive, after the unruly mob led by Peter the Hermit had passed through earlier in the year ("The People's Crusade"). Alexius kept Hugh in custody in a monastery until Hugh swore an oath of vassalage to him.

After the Crusaders had successfully made their way across Seljuk territory and, in 1098, captured Antioch, Hugh (and Baldwin of Hainault were) sent back to Constantinople to appeal for reinforcements from Alexius (Baldwin mysteriously vanishes in an ambush along the way). Alexius was uninterested in sending an expedition to claim the city so late in summer. (This triggers off a series of arguments in Antioch, where Bohemund asserts that Alexius had violated his oath to assist the crusades, and therefore, the city by rights was his. This argument, and an outbreak of typhus, ties up the Crusaders for the remainder of the year.)

Hugh, instead of returning to Antioch to help plan the siege of Jerusalem, went back to France. There he was scorned for not having fulfilled his vow as a Crusader to complete a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and Pope Paschal II threatened to excommunicate him.

Hugh joined the minor Crusade of 1101 ("The Crusade of the Faint-Hearted," alongside William IX of Aquitaine and Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, and accompanied by Ida of Austria, mother of Leopold III of Austria). Half of this army was allowed to set sail from Constantinople for Palestine, while the other half marched overland, reaching Heraclea by September. Hugh was wounded in battle with the Turks (ambushed by Kilij Arslan) in September, and died of his wounds on October 18 in Tarsus. (Their group continued eastward under William of Nevers and Raymond of Toulouse, arriving at Jerusalem in Easter 1102. Kilij Arslan later establishes his capital at Konya after his victories over the "Crusade of the Faint-Hearted.")

Notes:

Louis VI, called The Fat (1081-1137), king of France (1108-1137), son and successor of Philip I; he was married to Adelaide of Savoy. Almost his entire reign was spent in subduing the robber barons, who preyed on the environs of Paris but were finally forced to yield to royal authority. For some 20 years during the period from 1109-1135, Louis waged war against Henry I, the Norman king of England, and against Henry's son-in-law, Holy Roman Emperor Henry V; he successfully repelled an invasion by Henry V in 1124. Louis greatly strengthened the royal power in France, granted benefactions to the church and privileges to towns, and became known as the protector of the peasants and as a fearless military leader. He was succeeded on the throne by his son Louis VII.

Notes:

byname LOUIS THE YOUNGER, French LOUIS LE JEUNE, Capetian king of France who pursued a long rivalry, marked by recurrent warfare and continuous intrigue, with Henry II of England.
In 1131 Louis was anointed as successor to his father, Louis VI, and in 1137 he became the sole ruler at his father's death. Louis married Eleanor, daughter of William X, duke of Aquitaine, in 1137, a few days before his effective rule began, and he thus temporarily extended the Capetian lands to the Pyrenees. Louis continued his father's pacification program by building the prestige of the kingship through an administrative government based on trustworthy men of humble origin and by consolidating his rule over his royal domains rather than by adding new acquisitions. From 1141 to 1143 he was involved in a fruitless conflict with Count Thibaut of Champagne and the papacy. But thereafter his relations with the popes were good; Alexander II, whom he supported against Frederick Barbarossa, took refuge in France. But the major threat to his reign came from Geoffrey, count of Anjou and, briefly, of Normandy, and Geoffrey's son Henry, who later (1154) became King Henry II of England as well as ruler of both Anjou and Normandy. After Louis repudiated his wife Eleanor for misconduct on March 21, 1152, she married Henry, who then took over control of Aquitaine. Ironically, this act was probably to Capetian advantage because Aquitaine might have drained the resources of Louis's kingdom while bringing him little revenue. After the death of Louis's second wife, he married Alix of Champagne, whose Carolingian blood brought added prestige to the monarchy (1160); their son became Philip II Augustus.

Louis might have defeated Henry if he had made concerted attacks rather than weak assaults on Normandy in 1152. Anglo-Norman family disputes saved Louis's kingdom from severe incursions during the many conflicts that Louis had with Henry between 1152 and 1174. Louis was helped by the quarrel (1164-70) between Henry and Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, and a revolt (1173-74) of Henry's sons. Suger, abbot of Saint-Denis, who acted as regent in 1147-49 while Louis was away on the Second Crusade, is the primary historian for Louis's reign.

Louis married Queen Eleanor De AQUITAINE on 25 Jul 1137 in Bordeaux Cathedral, Bordeaux, France. Eleanor (daughter of Guillaume X Duke Of AQUITAINE, Poitou Guillaume and Elbeanor De CHATELLERAULT) was born in 1121-1122 in Chateau DE Belin, Bordeaux, Aquitaine; died on 31 Mar 1204 in Poitiers, Poitou, Aquitaine; was buried in Fontevraud Abbey, Maine-Et-Loire, France.

Louis married Queen Adelaide Alix De BLOIS on 13 Nov 1160 in Blois Loir-Et-Cher, France. Adelaide (daughter of Theobalk (Thibald) IV "The Great", Count Of Blois) was born about 1140 in Blois Loir-Et-Cher, France; died on 4 Jun 1206 in Paris, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

He was the son of Louis VI of France who took the name of his wife "de Courtenay"-

PIERRE de France ([1126]-Palestine 10 Mar [1180/10 Apr 1183]). William of Tyre names him as brother of Louis VII King of France, when recording his arrival in Palestine in 1179[406]. He succeeded as Seigneur de Courtenay, by right of his wife. "Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus" donated property to the abbey of Fontaine-Jean by charter dated 1170, with the support of "uxor mea Isabel et primogenitus meus Petrus"[407]. The necrology of La Cour-Dieu records the death "VI Id Mar" of "Petrus de Curtiniaco"[408].

m (before 24 Nov 1160) ELISABETH de Courtenay, daughter and heiress of RENAUD Seigneur de Courtenay & his first wife Helvis de Donjon ([1140/45]-14 Sep after 1205). A Historia Regum Francorum records that "Petrus", son of Louis VI King of France, married "filiam Rainaldi de Curtiniaco cum?terra illius"[249].

The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names "Petrus" as sixth son of "rex Ludovicus" and his wife "Adalaidem filiam Humberti comitis de Mauriana", adding that he married "filiam Rainaldi de Corteniaco" and had his land as there was no other surviving heir ("et terram ipsius habuit cum ea, quia non erat alius h?res superstes")[250]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=Guilelmus?archiepiscopus Bituricensis]" as the wife of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo", "Monte-Argisi" being identified as "Montargis, d?partement Loiret" by the editor of the MGH edition[251].

"Petrus dominus Curtiniaci et uxor mea Elisabeth" confirmed donations made by "antecessorum nostrorum...dominus Milo et filii eius" to Fontaine-Jean abbey by charter dated 24 Nov 1160, witnessed by "Willelmus de Cortiniaco..."[252].

The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records "filie Regin de Crtinni" in London/Middlesex[253]. As discussed above in the introduction to section showing Elisabeth's father, it is possible that this entry relates to Elisabeth. "Petrus...Ludovici Francorum regis frater" granted privileges to Montargis, with the consent of "uxoris su? Helisabeth et Petri filii sui", by charter dated 1170[254].

"Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus" confirmed donations to Fontaine-Jean abbey, with the consent of "uxor mea Ysabel et primogenitus meus Petrus", by charter dated 1170, witnessed by "Ex parte domini et pueri..."[255].

"Petrus de Curtiniaco frater regis" confirmed donations made to Fontaine-Jean abbey by "Guillelmus de Curtiniaco" on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "uxoris mei Elisabeth", by undated charter[256].

"Petrus frater regis dominus de Monteargi et de Curtiniaco" donated property to Fontaine-Jean abbey on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "uxor mea Ysabel et filius meus Petrus", by charter dated 1179[257].

"Elisabeth domina de Curteneto mater Petri comitis Nivernensis" donated money to Paris Notre-Dame, for the anniversary of "Petri mariti meio", and a further donation to the Knights Hospitallers after she died, by charter dated 1189[258]. Bouchet states that Elisabeth confirmed donations to "l' abbaye des Escharlis" in 1205 "qui est le dernier Acte qu'on touve d'elle"[259]. The necrology of the Eglise Cath?drale de Paris records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "Helysabeth mater Petri comitis Autisiodorensis"[260].
