Dorothea of Bulgaria (died c. 1390) was the first Queen of Bosnia.
She was the daughter of Emperor Ivan Sratsimir of Bulgaria and his wife Anna of Wallachia.
Louis I, King of Hungary, retained her and her sister at the Hungarian court after her father was restored in 1370. Dorothea was placed in care of the queen, Elisabeth of Bosnia, and queen mother, Elisabeth of Poland.[1] Dorothea's sister died soon, while Dorothea herself fell in favour of the King.[2] King Louis I gave her in marriage to his cousin-in-law, ban Tvrtko I of Bosnia.[1]
Dorothea married ban Tvrtko I in Saint Ilija [2] (today's Ilinci, near Šid) on 8 December 1374 [3] and became banness of Bosnia. On 26 October 1377 her husband was crowned King and she took the title of Queen of Bosnia.
Queen Dorothea died before 1390,[4] having left neither sons [5] nor known daughters. Her husband planned to remarry, this time to a member of the House of Habsburg, but he died in 1391.
