Byzantine chroniclers

Byzantine chroniclers were historians who documented the events, culture, and society of the Byzantine Empire, which lasted from approximately 330 to 1453 AD. They recorded significant battles, political changes, and religious developments, often blending historical facts with narratives influenced by their own perspectives and beliefs. Key figures among these chroniclers include Procopius, Anna Komnene, and Michael Psellus. Their works are invaluable for understanding the complexities of Byzantine history, as they provide insights into contemporary attitudes and the empire’s interactions with neighboring cultures. These chronicles serve as both historical accounts and reflections of Byzantine identity.
