	Romanus I - Phantis
		In the aftermath of the Byzantine defeat at the Battle of Anchialus in 917, Romanos sailed to Constantinople, where he gradually overcame the discredited regency of Empress Zoe Karvounopsina and her supporter Leo Phokas.
		Romanos strengthened his position by marrying his daughters to members of the powerful aristocratic families of Argyros and Mouseles, by recalling the deposed patriarch Nicholas Mystikos, and by putting an end to the conflict with the Papacy over the four marriages of Emperor Leo VI.
		Romanos' rise to power had cut off Simeon I of Bulgaria's plans for a marital alliance with Constantine VII, and Romanos was determined to deny the unpopular concession of imperial recognition to Simeon, which had already toppled one imperial government.

		Byzantine attitudes particularly favoured the role of mother: cultural and legal practice maintained primacy for the Byzantine mother as head of the household and protector of her childrens' interests, especially if she had been widowed whilst her children were still young.
		Amongst the elite, several Empresses ruled as Regents for their underage children: most notably the Empress Irene in the late eight century, Saint Theodora, for her infant son Michael III in the ninth century, and Zoe Karvounopsina, fourth wife and widow of the Emperor Leo VI, in the tenth century.
		The role of widow as family matriarch is strikingly illustrated by the subject of our opening quote: Anna Dalessena was mother of the Emperor Alexios Komnenos I and grandmother of Anna Komnena.
