  Henry began feuding with the Church over issues related to Gregorian Reform. During this time, Pope Nicholas II sent Anne a letter counselling her to follow her conscience to right wrongs and intervene against oppressive violence, while also encouraging her to advocate with her husband so that he might govern with moderation. According to Delorme, some historians have interpreted this letter from the Pope as being indicative of Anne's conversion to Roman Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy. [4]

  She founded the Abbey of St. Vincent at Senlis. [4]

  When Henry I died, she became the Queen Regnant for her young son, Philip. [4]
  Died	1075  [1, 2, 3, 4]

  In 1682, the Jesuit antiquary Claude-Francois Menestrier announced that he had discovered Anne's tomb at the Cistercian Abbey of Villiers. The discovery was subsequently disputed, as Villiers was not built until the thirteenth century, although it's possible Anne's remains had been moved there at some point following her death. Whatever monument may have been there was destroyed in the French Revolution. [4]
