Princess Milica Hrebeljanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Милица Хребељановић, née Nemanjić, 1300s - November 11, 1405) also known as "Tsaritsa Milica", was Regent of Serbia, wife of Serbian Prince Lazar (1329–1389) and mother of despot Stefan Lazarević. She was the daughter of Prince Vratko (кнез Вратко), who as a great-grandson of Vukan Nemanjić was part of a minor branch of the House of Nemanjić. She was the 4th cousin once removed of Emperor Dušan of Serbia. After the death of her husband, she took monastic vows at Ljubostinja monastery and became the nun Jevgenija (Јевгенија), and later the abbess Jefrosina (Јефросина). She was canonized by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
