Ana-Neda

Ana-Neda was the Empress consort of Bulgaria briefly in 1323–1324 as the spouse of "Despot of Vidin" Michael Asen III "Shishman" who was elected as Emperor of Bulgaria in 1323 and Empress of Bulgaria during the 1330 - 1331. Some historians believe that she may have ruled as regent for her son, but this hypothesis is meaning as controversial. She was the daughter of Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin and Princess Elizabeth Arpad, daughter of King Stephen V of Hungary and Elizabeth the Kuman, a daughter of Köten. From the marriage with Michael Asen III, Anna had at least four sons, one of whom was Ivan Stephen of Bulgaria, later probably briefly the Emperor of Bulgaria (1330–1331), by some historians.
