  • Descrição: The other seven women had accomplishments, to be sure: some had great wealth, strength of character, or personal influence and managed to help their sons or husbands in wars or dynastic struggles; others used their learning and wealth to found convents and further the cause of learning, whether in Byzantine territories or in refugee communities in Italy after the fall of Constantinople. The nun and scholar Theodora Raoulaina (d. 1300) was among the more learned people of her era; Anna Notaras Palaiologina (d. 1507), who was not particularly learned, nevertheless was a great patron of learning and was a leader of the Greek exile community in Venice after the fall of Constantinople. Nicol discusses three powerful empresses, two of whom set up independent rule in Thessalonica, one while her husband was the imperial ruler, the other while her son was emperor. The most touching of the portraits is that of the famous Mara Brankovic, who was the "step mother" of Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople. After her husband Murad II died, she returned to her Christian family but continued warm relations with Mehmed II throughout her life, serving several times as mediator and intercessor for others at the Ottoman court.
