Jelena Šubić

Jelena Šubić (died c. 1378) was the daughter of George II Šubić, Count of Klis. In late 1337 or early 1338 she married Vladislav, brother of Ban Stephen II of Bosnia, sealing her brother Mladen III's alliance with Bosnia against the Hungarian king.

When Stephen died in autumn 1353, her son Tvrtko, about fifteen, became ban. Jelena and Vladislav, the latter excluded from the succession, ruled for him; Vladislav died within a year, and she ruled alone until 1357. She first visited her overlord Louis I of Hungary to win his consent.

At a Mile assembly she confirmed noble privileges, and in 1355 marched to Duvno to settle the Šubić inheritance dispute. In 1374 she arranged Tvrtko's wedding to Dorothea of Bulgaria; three years later he was crowned king.
