>Stupid sexy Bohemond
>Pope said something very naughty and I'm not going to tell you because I'm a lady
>My dad invented everything ever

why are you singling her out, it's a normal thing in medieval chronicles
I imagine her secretely keeping Bohemond printed pillow
I'm putting that in my historical accounts.
I need an artist to make a picture of Anna Komnene hugging a Boehmond body pillow
what's so odd about it?
all the contemporary male writers were drooling over Cleopatra too
>all the contemporary male writers
Name one you brainlet.
Whoever Plutarch was using for sources.
So are you saying Plutarch or do you not have an answer?
We don't have their names anymore but it's obvious they existed.
>n-no I don't have evidence
>sorry anon
>*shrugs idiotically
Why does this always happen?
How would Plutarch know Cleopatra possessed great physical beauty if he didn't read such accounts?
By making shit up. Are you saying Plutarch was right about everything?
Well even if that were true then he himself was drooling over Cleopatra and not his sources. What was the point of this whole fricking argument?
To force you to chicken post. You fell right into the classic blunder of historical discussion. If we keep going you will uncontrollably start posting dogs in priest clothes and giant snails waging war on humanity.
yes
gigachad
Was it a body pillow?
anna was a redhead?
>Pope said something very naughty and I'm not going to tell you because I'm a lady
I want to go back
They took this from you, now modern women spread their butthole open on only fans
How loose were Byzantine girls?
A lot, given they were surrounded by enuchus and byzantine men, Who were more into the ancient greek tradition of boyfricking. They were desperate for some actuall testosterone-fuelled men
>They were desperate for some actuall testosterone-fuelled men
God I wonder what that's like
golly gee

if St. Theodora is anything to go by, extremely loose
>calling the Normans Celts
Nice, care to tell us more about it ? Quotes and references would be nice.
>he hasn’t read the Alexiad
That's a strong sign he's not a virgin, so he might make it.
My knowledge of the Byzantine empire is rather limited.
why did you even come into this thread
>you can’t learn about or be curious anything new
Why do you even exist, have a nice day moron
The name of France in Greek is still Gallia(Γαλλία). The word Gallia would also be used alongside Francia in Latin at the time.
All women are prostitutes.
hey that's my line
She was a schizo greek bawd who didn't have daddy issues, a bizarre paradox.
Since Bohemond was nothing but a social climber, I’m pretty he would have been more than happy to marry her. Although I doubt her father would have allowed her to mary a barbarian.
Although Bohemond did end up marrying the French king’s daughter just because everyone became impressed with the stories of his bravery in the crusade.
She also described Bohemond’s father as being handsome
> “This Robert was a Norman by birth, of obscure origin, with an overbearing character and a thoroughly villainous mind; he was a brave fighter, very cunning in his assaults on the wealth and power of great men; in achieving his aims absolutely inexorable, diverting criticism by incontrovertible argument. He was a man of immense stature, surpassing even the biggest men; he had a ruddy complexion, fair hair, broad shoulders, eyes that all but shot out sparks of fire. In a well-built man one looks for breadth here and slimness there; in him all was admirably well-proportioned and elegant. Thus from head to foot the man was graceful (I have often heard from many witnesses that this was so). Homer remarked of Achilles that when he shouted his hearers had the impression of a multitude in uproar, but Robert’s bellow, so they say, put tens of thousands to flight.”
she was whatever the genderbent version of a momma's boy is (poppa's girl?). She adored her father and thought he was the best thing since leavened bread. the entire Alexiad was composed for the purpose of praising her father and telling everyone about how great he was. i don't think they ever fought over anything and the only possible contention between the two that could've existed was the fact tat he didn't explicitly appoint her as his heir.
>tfw no powerful and cute byzantine gf
be careful what you wish for anon. she'd end-up hen-pecking you to depose her brother and become the emperor yourself(unless you're actually willing to take the risk and actually do it).
>she'd end-up hen-pecking you to depose her brother
Then forcing you to nut in her for an heir then blinding you to ruler herself as a regent for your child
this is how you become a blind eunuch
