Komnena Nemanjić (Serbian Cyrillic: Комнена Немањић; fl. 1208–1215) was the Princess consort of Dhimitër Progoni, the Albanian Prince of Albania (Princeps Albaniae) of Arbanon, and later Grigor Kamona, the Archon of Scampis. She was the daughter of Serbian King Stephen II Nemanjić (r. 1196–1228).[1]

Life

Komnena was born to King Stephen II and his wife Eudokia Angelina, and was thus a granddaughter of Emperor Alexios III Angelos.[1] She had three brothers: Stephen Radoslav (r. 1228–1233), Stephen Vladislav I (r. 1233–1243) and Predislav (the third Serbian Archbishop as Saint Sava II, after uncle Sava).

She married Dhimitër Progoni in 1208, and a brief alliance was formed between Serbia and Arbanon amidst conflicts with the Republic of Venice. After Dhimitër died in 1215, the power was left to Komnena,[2] who shortly afterward married Greco-Albanian lord Grigor Kamona. He assumed control over Kruja,[3] strengthening relations with Serbia, which had been weakened after a Serbian assault on Shkodër.

She had a daughter with Gregorios who married Golem of Kruja.[4]
