“Anna Rusynka, Queen of France and Countess of Valois” is a book by Amédée de Caix de Saint-Aymour (1843-1921), a French linguist, historian, and archaeologist, translated by Ivan Franko, based on documentary materials, which tells the story of the life and reign of Anna Yaroslavna, the daughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv. Anna became Queen of France by marrying King Henry I in 1049 (according to the author's date) and Countess of Valois in her second marriage. The work describes in detail her role in the French kingdom, her influence on political life, and the cultural ties between Kyivan Rus and France. This work is still considered one of the most comprehensive studies of Anna Yaroslavna's biography.
