Anna Dandolo
Anna Dandolo (Serbian: Ана Дандоло; Italian: Anna Dandola; † approx. 1265 at the age of around 60) was a queen of the Serbs in the 13th century through her marriage to Stefan Nemanjić .
Anna was a native Venetian from the Dandolo family . Her father was Ranieri Dandolo, killed in the battle against Genoa in 1208, and her grandfather was the famous Doge Enrico Dandolo . Around the year 1216/1217 she married the grand uzupan of the Serbs of Raszien , Stefan Nemanjić, as his third wife. This marriage marked a turn to the Roman-Latin world for the Serbian ruler, which was underpinned by the simultaneous coronation of the couple as king and queen by a papal legate. Later, however, Stefan Nemanjić was crowned a second time according to the Greek Orthodox rite.
The marriage resulted in at least one son, Stefan Uroš I, who ruled as king from 1243 to 1276. It is possible that the older king sons Predislav (Archbishop Sava II.) And Stefan Vladislav († 1267) were children of Anna.
Her son Stefan Uroš I. donated her honor after her death, the monastery Sopoćani , and an obtained today mural shows her Dormition , one of the earliest Koimesis representations in Byzantine art, which is not the "Mother of God" Maria is dedicated.
