Theodora of Bulgaria

Theodora, second daughter of Tsar Smilets of Bulgaria and Smiltsena Palaiologina, married the Serbian crown prince Stefan Uroš III, later Stefan Dečanski, in 1296. She was the mother of Stefan Dušan, the future emperor. When Milutin drove her husband into exile at Constantinople in 1314, she followed him and remained there until their return in 1320.

In 1322 she attended the assembly where Dušan was crowned young king; she and Dečanski soon divorced. A patron of literature and the arts, she died around 1322–1323 and was buried at Banjska.
