Ana (Serbian Cyrillic: Ана); fl. 1196–d. June 22, 1200) was the princess consort of the Serbian Principality as the wife of Stefan Nemanja (r. 1166–1196). She was of noble descent. Ana took monastic vows in 1196 and was baptized Anastasia, after Anastasia of Sirmium. She is venerated by the Serbian Orthodox Church as Saint Anastasija (Света Анастасија) with her feast day on June 22 (Julian calendar).
Her origins have never been concluded. Domentijan (ca. 1210–after 1264) mentioned her as "a great princess, daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Romanos", only Romanos IV Diogenes ruled 1068–1071, making this geneaology impossible. Mavro Orbini mentioned her as a daughter of the Bosnian Ban, perhaps mixing her with the wife of Prince Miroslav, the sister of Ban Kulin. Rajić thought Ana was the daughter of Stefan Borić, although this is not supported by any sources.[1]
Marriage and descendants
Through the marriage with Stefan Nemanja, they had three sons and three daughters:
- Stefan Nemanjić, Stefan Nemanja's successor.
- Rastko Nemanjić (Saint Sava) (1171–1236), The first archbishop and patron saint of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
- Vukan Nemanjić, Grand Prince of Doclea 1190-1208, and Grand Prince of Serbia 1202–1204.
- Jefimija, married Manuel Angelus Ducas Regent of Thesaloniki (+1241).[2]
- a daughter who married a member of the Asen family and gave birth to Bulgarian Tsar Constantine Tih Asen (reigned 1257–1277).
