Maria Voichița

Doamna Maria Voichița (1457 – 26 February 1511) was a Princess consort of Moldavia (1480–1511).

Life
Born into the powerful House of Drăculești, Maria was daughter of Radu III the Handsome and his wife, Maria Despina. She was niece of Vlad the Impaler.

She married Prince Stephen III of Moldavia in 1478. This marriage linked Stephen to the ruling family of Wallachia, and opened the possibility that he might later claim that throne.

She was regarded to have an influence upon the policy of her spouse. Additionally, she was a patron of the arts and church; for example, she is recorded as having commissioned a manuscript for the monastery of Pătrăuți.

She is buried in the Putna Monastery, Romania.
