Notes
Stuart shows in line 361 that Debronega Marie is the daughter of the unnamed wife 
and not Anna, but contrary authority is prevalent
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Porphyrogenita
Anna Porphyrogenita (Greek: ???a ???f????????t?, Russian: ???? ????????????, 
Ukrainian: ???? ?????????????; 13 March 963 – 1011) was a Grand Princess consort 
of Kiev; she was married to Grand Prince Vladimir the Great.[1]

Anna was the daughter of Byzantine Emperor Romanos II and the Empress 
Theophano. She was also the sister of Emperors Basil II Bulgaroktonos (The Bulgar-
Slayer) and Constantine VIII. Anna was a Porphyrogenita, a legitimate daughter born 
in the special purple chamber of the Byzantine Emperor's Palace. Anna's hand was 
considered such a prize that some theorize that Vladimir became Christian just to marry 
her.[2]

Anna did not wish to marry Vladimir and expressed deep distress on her way to her 
wedding. Grand Prince Vladimir was impressed by Byzantine religious practices; this 
factor, along with his marriage to Anna, led to his decision to convert to Eastern 
Christianity. Due to these two factors, Grand Prince Vladimir also began Christianizing 
his kingdom. By marriage to Grand Prince Vladimir, Anna became Grand Princess of 
Kiev, but in practice, she was referred to as Queen or Czarina, probably as a sign of 
her membership of the Imperial Byzantine House. Anna participated actively in the 
Christianization of Rus: she acted as the religious adviser of Vladimir and founded a 
few convents and churches herself. It is not known whether she was the biological 
mother of any of Vladimir's children, although some scholars have pointed to evidence 
that she and Vladimir may have had as many as three children together.[3]
