The Byzantine Lady: Ten Portraits, 1250-1500

by: Nicol, D.M.

This is a lively collection of ten short, annotated and illustrated biographies of aristocratic ladies of the final years of the Byzantine empire. Some were ambitious mothers; others, unhappy wives; some were nuns or scholars; one became the wife of a Turkish sultan and the stepmother of a famous son; another the champion of the Greek refugees in Venice after the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. Their stories demonstrate the enterprise of some Byzantine women in the male-dominated society of their time.

Canto version of highly successful and original Cambridge hardback
Follow-up to author's successful The Immortal Emperor
Unique contribution to the study of women in late Byzantine society, and to history in general
