520 |a This article concerns the trial sequence narrated by Anna Komnene in Book XV section 9.2-5 of her. In this passage, the princess historian describes a dramatic show trial in which a large number of accused Bogomils are brought together and given the choice between two pyres - one representing repentance to Orthodoxy whilst the other representing the maintenance of their heretical beliefs. In either case, they were all to be sentenced to death. I argue that this scene is not simply theatrical but, in fact, a complete fiction, engineered by Anna for the sake of enforcing a desired ideological image of her father as a Christ-like saviour.
