Simonida

Simonida (c. 1294 – after 1336), born Simonis Palaiologina, was a Byzantine princess and queen consort of King Stefan Milutin of Serbia. A daughter of Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos, she was promised to him in 1298 to seal peace after a Byzantine defeat, and married him in spring 1299, aged five.

Her Greek entourage brought Byzantine court ceremony, titles and law to Serbia. She appears in a celebrated fresco at Gračanica monastery. After Milutin's death in 1321 she returned to Constantinople and became a nun.
