Reading:

Teacher: Look at the map of old Kyiv. Read the text about Yaroslav and Anna then match the paragraphs with the pictures on the right.

Anna was the youngest daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, the Grand Prince of Kyiv. She was very beautiful and clever. In 1051 Henry I, the King of France asked Anne to marry him and in spring 1051 she travelled to France.

Anne was well-educated. She could read and write in five languages but her husband and many of his barons couldn’t. As a queen, Anne often signed official documents and she did it in her native language. In fact, her signature is the oldest example of old Ukrainian handwriting!

Anne called her first son Philip. When Henry I died Philip was only eight. He was very young and his mother often helped the young king to rule the country.

Anne died in 1075. All the French kings after Henry I were related to Anne of Kyiv.
