Marriages and Children
Bosnian Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić was married three times:
- daughter of Count Meinhard of Ortenburg in Carniola (concluded from sources, this remained an engagement only, the couple not having come to live together)
- daughter of a Tsar of Bulgaria, unclear which tsar, up to 1329 (historical connections place this marriage during the Serbian activities of Michael Asen III of Bulgaria, but the bride's identity and parentage remains unclear - she most probably was not Michael's daughter, but possibly a daughter of his some predecessor, or a female relative of his)
- Elizabeth of Kuyavia, daughter of Duke Casimir, nephew of Ladislaus the Short, king of Poland, since 1339
Bosnian Ban Stjepan II of Kotroman had at most three children:
- Vuk, who died during his father's lifetime
- Elizabeth of Bosnia, who married Hungarian King Louis I the Great on 20 June 1353. Having become the Regent of Hungarian kingdom, she was murdered in 1387. Born c 1340.
- Catherine, who married Herman I of Celje in 1361. She was the mother of Herman II, Count of Celje and died on 21 March 1385. Born c 1336. She may have been his niece rather than daughter.

Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or children:
“You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest-lived.”
—Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
