Theodora of Wallachia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodora (Bulgarian: Теодора) of Wallachia was the daughter of Basarab I of Wallachia (1310–1352) and Lady Margareta[1][2]. She married Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria as his first wife. This marriage produced four children — Michael Asen, Ivan Sratsimir, Ivan Asen and Vasilisa. In 1345 Tsar Ivan Alexander divorced Tsaritsa Theodora and sent her into a monastery as a nun under the name Teofana.
