Anastasiya Dabizha

Anastasiya Dabizha (b. 1631-1632 - d. 1703), was a princess of Moldavia and Wallachia and a Hetmana of Ukraine by marriage to George Ducas, Prince of Moldavia, Prince of Wallachia, and Hetman of Ukraine (r. 1681-1685).^[1]

She was daughter of Dafina Catrina, princess-consort of Moldova, by her first husband the Grand Treasurer Dumitry Buhus.^[2] When widowed, Dafina Catrina then married Eustratie Dabija, whom the family made Prince of Moldavia in 1661.^[3]

Anastasiya Dabizha is known for her love life, as she had a number of lovers, notably Șerban Cantacuzino, prince of Wallachia in 1678-88, which was reported as a scandal in contemporary annals. She was also a political supporter of her spouse, and managed to secure a great loan to finance his power as hetman in Ukraine.
