Summary/Abstract: Each of Michael the Brave's deeds, accomplished either by sword, by speech or by action, has been known and thoroughly discussed, both in his time, as in the last two and a half centuries of historiography. In this article, I brought some new details regarding Michael's descent in the female line, contributing to the elucidation of Marula's biography, the prince's illegitimate daughter, and to a better knowledge of Florica's life, the prince's legitimate daughter. This article also initiates a discussion on the status of illegitimate children, more precisely on their acknowledgment as a first step in the legitimizing process.
