Komnena Nemanjić ({{lang-sr-cyr|Комнена Немањић}}; {{langx|sq|Komnena Nemanjiq}}; fl. 1208–1215) was a Serbian princess from the Nemanjić dynasty. She was married to Dhimitër Progoni who held the title Prince of Albania and was the ruler of the Principality of Arbanon. She served as regent after his death. She later married Gregorios Kamonas, who sought to strengthen ties with Serbia and secure Arbanon through their marriage.
She was the only daughter of Serbian King Stephen II Nemanjić (r. 1196–1228).REDAKCIJA ZA ISTORIJU CRNE GORE: ISTORIJA CRNE GORE, book 2, tom 1, Titograd, 1970, pp. 8-9.
Life
Komnena was born to King Stephen II and his first wife Eudokia Angelina, a Greek noblewoman from the Angelos dynasty, and was thus a granddaughter of Emperor Alexios III Angelos. She had three brothers: Stephen Radoslav (r. 1228–1233), Stephen Vladislav I (r. 1233–1243) and Predislav (the third Serbian Archbishop as Saint Sava II, after uncle Sava).
She married Dhimitër Progoni in 1208, and a brief alliance was formed between Serbia and Arbanon amidst conflicts with the Republic of Venice. After Dhimitër died in 1215, the power was left to Komnena,The despotate of Epiros, p. 48 who shortly afterward married Greco-Albanian lord Grigor Kamona. He assumed control over Kruja,The despotate of Epiros, p. 156 strengthening relations with Serbia.
She had a daughter with Gregorios who married Golem of Kruja.[https://books.google.com/books?id=J7pnAAAAMAAJ&q=gregorios+kamonas The Genealogist, Volumes 1-2]
