Marica Brâncoveanu was a Wallachian princess who lived from approximately 1661 to 1729. As the wife of Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, she played a significant role in the cultural life of the region. Following the deposition of her husband in 1714, she faced imprisonment in Constantinople by Ottoman authorities and suffered the loss of her husband and sons. After being released and living in exile near the Black Sea, she returned to Bucharest, where she eventually repatriated the remains of her family members.
