The main purpose of this article is to present one of the most interesting women in the history of medieval Serbia – Helene d’Anjou (Jelena Anžujska), the wife of the king Stefan Uroš I and the mother of Stefan Dragutin and Stefan Milutin. Queen Jelena’s origin has so far not been established with certainty. She is supposed to be the daughter of Raoul de Courtenay, the cousin of Louis IX of France, Charles d’Anjou, king of Naples and Baldwin, emperor of Constantinople after the Latin conquest. It is also important to confirm that she was a Catholic. The most reliable source of information about her life is the biography written by Danilo II, archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church. This is the only life of a woman that he wrote and is particularly valuable because Danilo knew Jelena personally and clearly liked and admired her.

Biographer of Stefan Uroš II Milutin, Archbishop Danilo II, states in his book that about fifteen churches and monastery buildings, were erected under the aus­pices of the Serbian king. They were created in Serbia, Constantinople, Thessa­lonica, Athos, Jerusalem and Sinai. Similarly, as byzantine Emperor, the Serbian king not always founded new objects. Occasionally, as it was in the case of the church in Staro Nagoričino, he only resurrected run-down buildings. Probably, as the result of this activity there is such an architectural variety of his foundations. Since the moment of his marriage to the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor, An­dronikos II Palaiologos, Simonis in 1299, started the specific spread of byzantine domination in Serbia, also in architecture. Erecting buildings in byzantine style, the king employed master builders from the area of Empire. In the case of church­es in Prizren (Bogorodica Ljeviška) and in Staro Nagoričino, we can observe in­fluence of Epirus architecture.
