Anna of Savoy, born Giovanna (1306–1365), was a Byzantine Empress consort, as the second spouse of Andronikos III Palaiologos. She served as regent, with the titles augusta and autokratorissa,[1] during the minority of her son John V Palaiologos from 1341 until 1347.[2] In Byzantium, she was known as Anna Palaiologina, owing to her marriage to Andronikos.[1]
