Theophanu was a Byzantine noblewoman, whose uncle acceded to the throne. That she was not herself of imperial descent, not born to the purple (porphyrogenita), but a niece of the man who had taken over the throne in a coup (John Tzimiskes), was a source of disappointment to some when she married the son of Otto I. But Theophanu had been educated to play a role in an imperial court. She was personally impressive and intelligent and she participated in her husband’s government, traveling with him, the court had no fixed center , even on military campaigns.They had five children, of whom four survived: Otto III, Adelaide, Sophia and Matilda. When Otto II died in December 983, Theophanu served as regent for their son, Otto III, at first sharing the regency with her mother-in-law, empress Adelaide, but eventually taking over on her own.

Though she had differences with her mother-in-law, empress Adelaide, some of them inherited from her husband, the two worked together to secure the throne for Otto III from his cousin, Henry II of Bavaria (“the Wrangler”), who had proclaimed himself king. Theophanu died in 991, still in her 30’s.The chronicler Thietmar eulogized her as follows: "Though [Theophanu] was of the weak sex she possessed moderation, trustworthiness, and good manners. In this way she protected with male vigilance the royal power for her son, friendly with all those who were honest, but with terrifying superiority against rebels."

Mathilde (also Mahthild or Matilda; 949 – 5 November 1011) was Abbess of Essen Abbey from 973 to her death. She was one of the most important abbesses in the history of Essen. She was responsible for the abbey, for its buildings, its precious relics, liturgical vessels and manuscripts, its political contacts, and for commissioning translations and overseeing education. In the unreliable list of Essen Abbesses from 1672, she is listed as the second Abbess Mathilde and as a result, she is sometimes called "Mathilde II" to distinguish her from the earlier abbess of the same name, who is meant to have governed Essen Abbey from 907 to 910 but whose existence is disputed.

The leftism leaving my body when I'm reading about medieval history

#it would've been pretty poetic if Justinian II lost the empire to the arabs in 717 #since he's named after the guy who restored roman control over the eternal city #and fuck you Charlemagne you barbarian fuck #think you can call yourself a “roman emperor” when you and your subjects and vassals don't even have Roman citizenship? #You're not even a usurper #fuck you and fuck the Ottonians and the other east franks

Daniel Lavery is being hilarious about medievalism (and "Renaissances.") I love him.
