Doamna Maria Despina

Maria Despina, also known as Doamna Maria or Mary, was an Albanian princess who became Princess Consort of Wallachia through her marriage to Radu the Handsome. She was the daughter of Prince Gjergj Arianiti, a leading figure in the anti-Ottoman resistance in Albania. Captured during the Moldavian invasion of Wallachia in 1473, she spent the remainder of her life in Moldavia, where she became the mother-in-law of Stephen the Great and was later buried at Putna Monastery.
