Biography

Anna Asenina, called in the Latin sources comitissa de Acchisio (countess of Acchisio) and "nobili mulieri Anne de Constantinopoli," is mentioned in several letters of Pope Gregory XI (c. 1372–1374). Scholars do not doubt her membership of the Asen family.

Her Latin title suggests a marriage into the Western nobility — another witness to the wide connections of the Asens with the Latin world.
