THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN DIPLOMACY. PERSONALITY OF THEODORA PAVLOVIĆ KOSAČA IN THE LIGHT OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PAVLOVIĆ AND KOSAČE FAMILIES

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the wife of duke Radosav Pavlović, Theodora, who was originally from the Kosače family. Her uncle was Sandalj Hranić, the great duke of Rusag of Bosnia, while her father was Vukac Hranić. Teodora’s brother was Duke Stjepan Vukčić Kosača. In addition to her personality, special attention is paid to her role in the diplomacy of the time, especially the relationship between the often inimical Pavlović and Kosača families, to which she herself belonged. The introductory part of the paper contains a review of historical sources and literature where Theodora is mentioned. The largest part of the work contains her mentions in historical sources that allow us to follow Theodora’s life path from birth to death. At the same time, the authors recorded other events and processes in which Theodora does not appear directly, but they indirectly influenced her life and role in the political events of the Bosnian state. Such an approach was necessary in order to look at all aspects of her activity. In that part of the text, several disputed and open questions are noted, which the authors, by analyzing sources and literature, tried to solve. The final part of the paper contains a conclusion and facts established with certainty about the personality of Theodora.
