Ana-Neda (Bulgarian Анна-Неда andSerbian Cyrillic:Ана-Неда[a]; fl. 1323–1324) was theEmpress consort of Bulgaria briefly in 1323–1324 as the spouse of "Despot ofVidin"Michael Asen III "Shishman" who was elected as Emperor of Bulgaria in 1323 and Empress of Bulgaria during the 1330 - 1331[1].[2][3] Some historians believe that she may have ruled as regent for her son, but this hypothesis is meaning as controversial.[4] She was the daughter ofSerbian KingStefan Uroš II Milutin and PrincessElizabeth Arpad,[5][6] daughter of King Stephen V of Hungary andElizabeth the Kuman, a daughter ofKöten. From the marriage with Michael Asen III, Anna had at least four sons, one of whom wasIvan Stephen of Bulgaria, later probably briefly the Emperor of Bulgaria (1330–1331), by some historians.[6]

Life

[edit]

Ana was the daughter ofSerbian KingStefan Uroš II Milutin and his third wife,Elizabeth of Hungary.[7][5][2] She was therefore possibly born sometime before 1284, when her father appears to have divorced Elizabeth to marryAnna of Bulgaria.[8] On her paternal side, she belonged to theNemanjić dynasty. On her maternal side, she was related to the HungarianÁrpád dynasty and theAnjou dynasty. Her aunt,Maria Árpád, was married toCharles II, King of Naples and Sicily. Anna Neda was a first cousin of Charles and Maria Árpád's sons, KingRobert of Anjou and PrincePhilip I of Taranto, and her son, Ivan Stefan, was a second cousin ofLouis of Taranto and QueenJoanna of Anjou.

Her marriage with Michael Asen III produced:

  • Michael,despotes (in Vidin?), probably the eldest son, died before 1330[9]
  • Ivan Stephen of Bulgaria, emperor of Bulgaria in 1330–1331, died between 1339 and 1357[10][6]
  • Šišman, potential pretender to the Bulgarian throne at Constantinople in 1341[11]
  • Lodovico, pretender to the Bulgarian throne in the Kingdom of Naples, died after 1363, probably distinct from any of the above[12]

In 1324, in order to cement an alliance with the Byzantine Empire against the Serbians, Michael Asen III divorced the Serbian Ana Neda in order to marry Theodora of Byzantium.[13][14] Anna Neda and her children were sent out ofTǎrnovo into the countryside, and imprisoned.[14]

In 1330, Michael Asen III fought the Serbian army, led by Ana's brotherStefan Uroš III, and was killed in theBattle of Velbazhd.[14] Afterwards, the victorious Serbs entered Bulgaria, and convinced Bulgaria to place Ana's sonIvan Stephen on the throne.[15][16][17] During Ivan Stephen's one-year reign, Ana seems to have acted as co-ruler and held significant power.[6][4][16]

In 1331 Ivan Stephen was deposed by the Bulgarian boyars, and replaced by his father's Bulgarian nephew,Ivan Alexander.[18] Ana, Ivan Stephen, and Lodovico fled to Serbia, while Šišman fled to the Mongol "Golden Horde."[19] The new Bulgarian emperor, Ivan Alexander, allied with Ana's nephew, the new Serbian kingStefan Dušan (who married Ivan Alexander's sisterHelena), and demanded the extradition of Ana and her children from Serbia. They sought refuge inDubrovnik, where they are found already in 1332.[20] As indicated in Neapolitan documents, Ana sought and received the support of her Neapolitan cousins,King Robert andQueen Joanna I. In 1340, Ana was said to be about to depart for Italy, where her son Lodovico had received royal favor since 1338 and married Maria of Taranto, the illegitimate half-sister of the future KingLouis I of Naples in 1342.[21] Nevertheless, Ana is found at Dubrovnik between 1343 and 1346.[22] At some point before 1357/1362, Ana had converted to Catholic Christianity like at least two of her sons (probably Ivan Stephen and certainly Lodovico), as reported by King Louis I of Naples toPope Innocent VI.[23] The date of her death is unknown.

At the end of her life, Ana may have taken monastic vows and received the nameJelena. She was buried in theDečani monastery.[24][25] She was consecrated in theSerbian Orthodox Church asVenerable (prepodobna) "St. Jelena of Dečani" (Света Јелена Дечанска), her feast day is on June 3 (May 21, Julian calendar).

Annotations

[edit]

    Name: Recent Bulgarian historians call herAna-Neda (with a dash). It has been argued that she was bornNeda, and upon the marriage to Michael, becoming a queen, she received the titular nameAna.[26] However, it appears that Ana took the nameDomenica as a convert to Catholic Christianity, and that this was subsequentlytranslated asNeda (from "недеља"nedelja) in Serbian, which means "Sunday," the Day of the Lord (Dominus).[27]
