The birthplace would not have been Turkey, since it did not exist then. Nicea was a part of the Byzantine Empire, but shortly after Constantinople had been sacked by Crusaders, and the Byzantines moved to this place, but then later regained it.

This profile had the wrong Anna Komnene attached as mother, Komnene-3. This is now corrected.
