Anna of Mohal, Queen of Sayamati

Anna of Mohal (29 October 840-5 December 865), also known as Anna "the Perfect", was queen consort of Sayamati as the first spouse to Isacca I, King of Sayamati. Her sister Atula was Balish empress, and her daughter Madharia, was queen consort of Hsindra with a tragic destiny.

Early years and marriage
Anna was the third daughter of Mehtamen, Duke of Mohal, and Kurwana of Hsindra. As a child, she was far away from the court and brought up by Baron Baborra and his wife in the Manor of Bralham. Compared with her beautiful and intelligent elder sister Atula, Anna was relatively ordinary, so her parents didn't pay much attention to her and seldom visited her.

King Isacca I of Sayamati and Atula, grew up together when they were young. At that time, Mehtamen and Queen Theona, mother of Isacca, both planned to betroth Atula to Isacca I. Isacca I also adored Atula very much, but Atula did not show much interest in this marriage plan. When the Balish empire began to find a wife for the new emperor Minsi II, Mehtamen hoped that Anna could become the new empress, so he reached an agreement with the Empire. In order to let Anna marry the emperor, Mehtamen promised to give Nogore Manor and three other border cities to the Empire as dowries.

However, when Atula was asked by Mehtamen about her opinions on marriage, Atula wanted to be an empress rather than a queen which was a lower title, so Mehtamen decided to betroth Atula to Minsi II and Anna to Isacca I. He didn't ask Anna's opinions from the beginning to the end.

Queen of Sayamati
On 10 March 856, Isacca I and Anna got married in Kananive. On 18 December, Anna was crowned Queen of Sayamati. The one Isacca I loved was Atula, so he was very disappointed and gave Anna a cold shoulder at the beginning of his marriage. Anna was always quiet. She often did needlework in the room with her maids and sometimes walked in the garden. All of these made Isacca I very bored. He once complained to his mother, "this is a palace, not a temple. She is a queen, not a nun!".

But gradually, Isacca I fell in love with his wife. Anna never asked her husband for anything. When Isacca I was annoyed with countless complicated things, Anna's chamber became his favorite place to stay. They chatted together to relieve the king's boredom. In the process, the king found that his wife spoke extraordinary and had unique views on many things, Only then did he know that under the ordinary appearance, Anna also had something to respect and love.

Isacca I enjoyed getting along with Anna more and more. When ambitious Atula turned Balish imperial court upside down in order to strive for power and profit, Sayamatian court led by Anna followed the rules, and she often solved problems for the king. Isacca I felt very lucky to have married Anna. He constantly raised the queen's annuity and often gave her gifts. He said to his courtiers, "I want to give my beloved Anna the best, because she is the best queen.". Moshacca de Gilbra, a female courtier, said: "the king's love for the queen has reached the point of attachment. I'm sure that if the queen wants the throne, the king will abdicate for her, but the queen is never greedy. That's why he loves her so much.".

Anna was very popular with the court and the people. She cared about the people's lives. When she knew that someone was in trouble, she will help. Her daughter, Madharia, had inherited this advantage of her mother after becoming queen of Hsindra. She also helped many nobles. She never intervened in politics, but if she heard that the king decided to execute a nobleman, she would ask the king to be lenient, and the king would often listen to her. During her cruise with the king, she personally went to the farmers' homes and used gold coins to buy their agricultural products and help them improve their lives. Because Anna was deeply loved by people, she was also known as "Anna the Perfect".

Death
Anna died after giving birth to her youngest son, Lebinande, on 5 December 865. The whole court was plunged into great sadness. The people gathered at the gate of the palace to mourn their queen. Anna's funeral was held on 12 February the following year. Before that, her body was placed in the Hollubho Temple for people's worship. She was buried in El Bahal, but she was not buried next to Isacca I, because only queens whose children ascended the throne could be buried with kings.

Isacca I missed Anna for the rest of his life. Although he later married Orajta of Theebo for producing an heir, he wore black all his life and showed himself as a widower.
