Simonida

Simonida

.

After signing peace with Serbian king Milutin in 1299, Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II gave him his daughter Simonida. She was to be a guarantee of eternal peace and friendship between two countries. Her beauty was well known, and a fresco of her in Gračanica monastery is one of the most valuable frescos in Serbian art. Unfortunately, the fresco is partly ruined, so that Simonida had no eyes. Simonida died in 1340 as a nun. In Serbian traditions, she was known as figure of purity and beauty.

Milan Rakić wrote a lyric poem about her named "Simonida", and Milutin Bojić wrote a psychological drama called "Kraljeva Jesen" (Eng. "King's autumn") about her. Asteroid 1675 Simonida discovered by Serbian astronomer Milorad B. Protić was named after her.
