To attend Church each morning and live in a Community of like-minded people, living as in the Acts of Apostles. Living in the fullness of God’s Grace. The most testing part for Maria was being in a community where the Leadership model was based on male Leadership. Women with leadership gifts were not given any authority to lead.

I would prefer to first discuss the Alexiad, as it is unique from other historical documents I’ve read in the sense that it is a biography written by a princess about her father.
