Anna-Euphrosyne

Anna-Euphrosyne Angelina or Anna-Helena Angelina (?–1253), was a Princess of Galicia and Volhynia by marriage to Roman the Great, in 1199–1205. She was regent of the Principality during the minority of her son Daniel of Galicia from 1205 to 1214. Life Early life She was the daughter of Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos and Irene Palaiologina, a daughter of George Palaiologos (according to the Russian historian Aleksandr Mayorov). In the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle she is known simply as the Prince of Roman. According to Aleksandr Mayorov, the first have the chronicle (Daniel of Galicia chronicle) is similar to Byzantine rather than Ruthenian historiography not out of coincidence. In his lection Mayorov tries to prove that not only the chronicle, but the prince himself has Byzantine origin, highly unlikely since he waged wars against the cumans (Cumanen/ Comnen), holding temporary seat in the Byzantium at the time. According to another Russian historian, Vasiliy Pashuto, Anna might have been a daughter of some wealthy Volhynian boyar. Princess She married the Prince of Galicia and Volhynia, Roman the Great.
