Brnjača
Brnjača (Serbian Cyrillic: Брњача, c. 1253–fl. 1264) was a Serbian princess, the daughter of King Stefan Uroš I (r. 1243–76) and Queen Helen of Anjou. Her brothers were Stefan Dragutin and Stefan Milutin. The oldest depiction of her, when she was ca. 12 years old[1] is in the 1264[2] fresco of the burial of Queen Ana Dandolo (d. 1258) at Sopoćani,[1] shown with a crown,[2] although her appearance is anachronistic. She is depicted on a fresco in the narthex of Visoki Dečani dating to ca. 1345, alongside Simeon Uroš and Teodora-Evdokija.[3] She is depicted in the Nemanjić family tree fresco of Visoki Dečani.[4] She was a nun,[3] and did not marry.[5][6] It was earlier believed that Brnjača was the nickname of her mother (named so due to the main estate of her feudal state, Brnjak).[7]
