Anastasia of Serbia
Noble person

Who was Anastasia of Serbia?
Ana Nemanjić, also known as Saint Anastasija was the princess consort of the Serbian Principality as the wife of Stefan Nemanja. She was of noble descent. Ana took monastic vows in 1196 and was baptized Anastasia, after Anastasia of Sirmium. Her feast day is June 22.
Her origins have never been concluded. Domentijan 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.
