Byzantine women refer to those women who wield power, are poisonous and beautiful, have bad personal ethics but are worthy of the country, and whose sins and glory are both hard to evaluate. It is also often extended to refer to the dark clouds lingering over the European continent, and is used when describing unfathomable and huge conspiracies. It is unclear whether this idiom, which is known to everyone from Ireland to Cathay, originated in France or Croatia (more people tend to prefer the latter, which was originally an implicitly malicious direction), but what is certain is that this impression came from Baselisa Margaret I of the Byzantine Empire, and was consolidated by her daughter Margaret II. The feats (or atrocities) of their conquest planning spread throughout Europe.
Interestingly, as if there was some kind of curse or exchange, these two women who seemed to have perfect lives did not seem to be blessed by Saint Pizida - one of them never married and the other never had love.
They were indeed entirely Byzantine women.
PS: 1. This article only commemorates a moment when I played CK3's 1066 bye-bye. It was the first time I tried the mainstream female leader. I didn't expect to be so emotional (compared to farming in Ireland when I was a novice!), So I recorded it.
2. My own point of view is that bye-bye is Rome. But it's Byzantium in the game, and it's a bit weird to always call it Eastern Rome or the Eastern Empire when writing stories, so Byzantium is often used (to highlight the time characteristics of the Middle Ages in a neutral historical concept.), But it's also used interchangeably with Rome.
Intention: I want to be a Grand Historian.
