Teodora Nemanjià(also Theodora) (; 1330 – after 1381) was the despotess of Kumanovo as the wife of Despot Dejan (fl. 1355). She was the daughter of King Stefan DeÃÂanski and her eldest half-brother was Serbian emperor, Stefan Duà ¡an. She was the mother of two sons, Constantine Dragaà ¡ and Jovan Dragaà ¡, and one daughter. She later became a nun adopting the name Evdokija (ÃÂòôþúøÃÂð, gr. Eudokia), hence she is known in historiography as Teodora-Evdokija (âõþôþÃÂð-ÃÂòôþúøÃÂð).
Theodora was born in 1330, the youngest daughter and child of King Stefan DeÃÂanski of Serbia by his second wife, Maria Palaiologina. Her maternal grandparents were John Komnenos Palaiologos, Governor of Thessaloniki and Irene Metochitissa. Theodora had one full brother, Simeon Uroà ¡ and a sister, Jelena; she also had two half-siblings from her father's first marriage to Teodora of Bulgaria, Queen of Serbia, Stefan Uroà ¡ Duà ¡an and Duà ¡ica. When Theodora was a year old, at the insistence of the nobility, Stefan Uroà ¡ Duà ¡an had their father deposed and imprisoned in chains. He consequently usurped the Serbian throne as Stefan Uroà ¡ IV Duà ¡an. Five years later, Theodora's father was murdered by strangulation. Her mother unsuccessfully attempted to obtain the crown for Simeon; defeated in her efforts, she retired to a convent and died in 1355.
In 1347, at 17 years of age, Teodora married Despot Dejan. He was granted the title of sebastokrator by her brother, Duà ¡an. Sometime after her marriage a fresco painting of Teodora was executed at the Serbian Orthodox Christian monastery of Visoki DeÃÂani. Teodora and Dejan had three children:
On an unrecorded date, Theodora followed in her mother's footsteps and also entered a religious life. Her mother had taken the name Marta, and Teodora, upon becoming a nun, adopted the name Eudokia. In a charter dated 1379, it was recorded that Eudocia imperatrix et filius Constantinus donated property to the Chilandar Monastery.
