Katarina Branković (Serbian Cyrillic: Катарина Бранковић, Greek: Καταρίνα Μπράνκοβιτς; 1418–1492), also known as Kantakuzina (Кантакузина, Kantakouzena) was the Countess of Celje, through the marriage with Count of CeljeUlrich II. A Serbian princess, she was the daughter of Despot Đurađ Branković and Byzantine princess Irene Kantakouzene.[2] She is remembered for writing the Varaždin Apostol (1454), and her endowment of the Rmanj Monastery.
Katarina married Ulrich II, Count of Celje (1406—1456) on 20 of April 1434.[2] This was a political marriage with intent to ensure western support to Serbian Despotate.[3] Her sister Mara Branković was married to SultanMurad II to ensure support from the east.[3] Kantakuzina Katarina Branković gave birth to five children, Hermann (1439-1452), George (1444-1445), Albert (†1448) and the twin Elisabeth (1441—1455) and Catherine (1441-1441).[3][4]Pope Pius II once said that Kantakuzina was beautiful and fair(lat. alioquin facie et moribus honestam).[3] In 1453 or 1454 she entrusted the creation of Varaždin Apostol, hand-written Orthodox liturgical book and oldest preserved text in Cyrillic from the territory of today's Croatia, to a group of three transcribers.[3]
