- Anna Diogenissa was born in the Byzantine capital Constantinople sometime before or, at the latest, nine months after the death of her father Constantine Diogenes at Antioch in 1074.[1] Her mother was Theodora Komnene, a daughter of the powerful noblewoman Anna Dalassena and John Komnenos, and hence sister to the future emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081–1118).[1] Her paternal grandparents were Romanos IV Diogenes (r. 1068–1071) and Anna of Bulgaria. It is not recorded when Anna married UroÅí I, the Grand Župan of Rascia, who reigned from 1112/1115 to 1131/1145. It most likely took place during UroÅí' captivity in Byzantium, where he had been sent as a hostage by his uncle Vukan following the capture of Lipljan in 1094 by the troops of Alexios I Komnenos. UroÅí is credited with having unified most of the Serbian territories after retaking them from Byzantine occupation. Rascia was the first independent state of the Serbs which had been formed in the 8th century. Together they had at least five children: UroÅí II, Grand Župan of Rascia (died after 1161) Desa (died after 1166), married and had one daughter BeloÅí, married and had one daughter Jelena (died after 1146), married King Béla II of Hungary, by whom she had five children. Marija, married Conrad II, Grand Duke of Znojmo, mother of Helen of Znojmo Possible child of Anna and Uros: Zavida, Lord of Ribnica[1] There is not much information in the available sources on the life of Anna Diogenissa, and this lack includes the date of her death. Charles Cawley in his Medieval Lands derived what little information he has from Europäische Stammtafeln.
