Zorica (princess)

Zorica (Serbian Cyrillic: Зорица; fl.

July 1308) or Carica (Царица),[1] (also Zaritsa, Zariza)[2] was a Serbian princess, the daughter of King Stefan Milutin (r. 1282–1321) and Queen Elizabeth of Hungary.

[3][4] Her father planned to marry her to Charles, the son of Charles, Count of Valois, having signed an agreement in Serbia in July 1308,[5] however, after Milutin's unsuccessful southward military operations and sabotage of the mission of the Papal legates sent into Serbia, Charles of Valois pulled out.

[6] She is depicted in frescos at Gračanica[1] and Visoki Dečani.
