LAZAREVIC SISTERS III

Princess Jelena Lazarevic 

Early Life

Often referred to as “Jela” or “Lady Lena,” Jelena Lazarevic is renowned as a determined, beautiful, and courageous woman. She was born as the third in line of the royal daughters of Prince Lazar. It is noted that she was about 39 years old in 1403, this determines that she was born around 1364-1365. 

Jelena was most than likely born in Prilepac and raised there for some time before moving to Krusevac where she continued her strict education under the guide of her mother; Milica and aunt; Jefimija.

As for the rest of her early life, nothing is known other than plausible education and living situation. The first information we have of her is in her early twenties when she married Durad II Balsic.

First Marriage

Around 1386 or 1387, Durad; Lord of Zeta, recognized Lazar’s as his ruler and lord and so to officialize his authority over the state of Zeta Lazar married his eldest unmarried daughter to him.

The couple had a single child together, Durad’s father namesaker and future successor; Balsa Balsic also known as ‘Balsa III’. 

The purpose of this marriage remain political and sole purpose was to create an alliance as well as heirs. There are no mention of a possible love marriage between the two of them. Though it is noted that Durad often entrusted his wife to manage state affairs.

In early 1392, in fear of the uprising Turks, Durad sent word for his wife arrival in Dubrovnik in order to protect her and his heir, and though the government of Dubrovnik were aquiring the necessities for Jelena, she never arrived. 

In September of that same year there was talk about her upcoming arrival, but she never came, yet again. 

It was not until November of 1396 that Jelena would reach out to the Dubrovnik authorities for a ship to escort her to a meeting with Sandalj Hranić (who will later on become her second husband) as he had been fighting against the Balsic family for some time at that point. 

This meeting might be one of tasks given to her by her husband. Jelena was noted to have a significant influence on the man. 

As Regent of Zeta

In 1403, her late husband; Durad, passed away, and of course; the wise Jelena wasted no time and made her appearance as a subtitute ruler in full light. Due to her son’s inexperience and age, Jelena acted as his regent.

Many of the territories that belonged to Zeta were under Venitian rule and Jelena decided to reclaim said territories. 

For five years she fought the Venitians to defend Zeta and her son’s inheritance despite facing harsh-trials. Through the uprising threats and council of disagreements, she followed as suited the interest of Zeta and her son. 

In the reports of Jelka Redep in her book: КЋЕРИ КНЕЗА ЛАЗАРА ИСТОРИЈСКА СТУДИЈА ПОГОВОР…

“Jelena’s idea of rebellion was not just an empty desire. In the first days of 1405, a rebellion was planned in Zeta. Skadar revolted against Venitian rule, and the Prince barely escaped with his life. Durazzo also rose up in arms and recognized Jelena’s son as their ruler.” 

In the early birth of this rebellion Jelena reached out to her younger brother; Despot Stefan Lazarevic, for aid, but due to his close-knit relationship with the Venitians he was unable to help her. Yet, she continued in her conquest with a temporary help from the Turks. 

[Her own brother, the despot Stefan, was friends with both the Venetians and the Hungarians. Only the Turks agreed to help her, but even they only for a short time. Jela did not agree to her brother's proposals to reconcile with Venice, but persistently continued to fight, until 1406, when she had to agree to negotiations that lasted more than three years.

Miodrag Purković spares no words when he talks about how energetically and uncompromisingly Jela, as a widow, fought for the freedom of her country and her son's inheritance. She always took all the "blame" on herself instead of her son. In order to protect him, at the end of 1409, she went alone to negotiations in Venice, where she was kept for three months. 

Purković points out how brave Jela was during those negotiations, and especially points to the fact that she was "neither confused nor afraid", unlike her mother, who once found herself in a similar situation before Bayazit in 1398. } - Dve srpske sultanije : Olivera Lazarevic (1373-1444) : Mara Brankovic (1418-1487) by Nikola Giljen, pg 169

Yet, despite this “Peace” Balsa continued his fight against the Venitians, but this only cost him great loss in territory.

Second Marriage 

Prior to this marriage Duke of Bosnia; Sandalj Hranić (remember him?), who used to be married to a kin of Hrovoje Vukcic separated from his wife after this one's family lost influence in their political position. 

Wishing to be associated with someone of more influence, Sandalj would later step a foot further and annulled his marriage to his wife; Katerina, since they shared no children, and instead offered for Princess Jelena Lazarevic or as she was known at the time Jelena Balsic; who at the time was the sister of a great ally of Sigismund. 

This marriage, which was Sandalj's third marriage, benefited all parties involved, as Sandalj regained his position, Jelena now had one less enemy to worry about, and lastly Stefan was able to tie his new brother-in-law to him politically. 

Strangely enough, this marriage could be considered a content union between the two. Sandalj is said to have been enchanted by his new bride/former enemy and to hold his step-son to high status and protect him at times.

Jelena is credited for this as she was known to have a powerful influence on this husband of hers who some would describe as an ‘arrogant man’. 

Later Life 

In April of 1421, the exhausted Balsa met with his uncle in Belgrade and transfered the remaining of his lands under this one’s protection. He soon passed away that same year. It is unkown how Jelena reacted to the news. 

In 1423, she was visited by her youngest sister; Olivera, though this one might have been there more for diplomatic reasons to get news on her brother-in-law than for the sake of meeting her sister after 30 plus years apart. 

Not much information has been recorded about Jelena’s where abouts until 1425. That year, the threat of the upcoming Turks were increasing and so as a result of this situation, Sandalj moved his family, including his wife, to Dubrovnik for protection. 

After her husband death in 1435, she retired from state affairs as the state passed down to her late husband’s nephew, and she obviously could not have any influence on him. 

She must have retired to her husband’s court in Novi, where it is assumed she lived an aristocratic lifestyle up and until her death. 

Jelena passed away in 1443, living a good amount of her properties to her granddaughter and namesaker; Jelena. She left 200 ducats and a gilded icon to her only living sibling; Olivera, to be spent on a memorial for her as well as distribution to the poor.

Disyembre 31, 2021. Nagising sa ingay nina Mama at Tita nagmamadaling magbihis patungo sa palengke. Maliwanag na ang silid ngunit malamig pa rin ang paligid. Ilang oras na lang at matatapos na ang taon. Ilang oras para muling alalahanin ang bawat alaalang ating nadagdag sa libro ng ating paglalakbay.

Masasabi kong masaya ang naging takbo ng taon na ‘to sa’kin. Isa na akong ganap na regular na empleyado sa plantang pinapasukan ko. Ganun pa man, may halong lungkot pa rin dahil pa rin sa mga katrabaho at grupong kinabibilangan ko. Mabuti at may mga kaibigan at kabatch akong nakasama sa grupo at kahit papaano’y naibsan ang lungkot at pangamba. Pero sana, sana sa susunod na taon ay malipat ako ng grupo at mapabilang sa samahang may malawak na pag-iisip, may respeto sa isa’t isa, may maayos na pakikitungo sa kapwa, at gaganahan at sisipagin kang magtrabaho. Kung hindi man, sana makaalis na lang ako at makahanap ng bagong oportunidad para sa’kin.

Sa taong ito naging maganda ang takbo ng mentalidad ko. Hindi ko naisip wakasan ang buhay ko. Hindi piniga ang utak ko ng lubid at kutsilyo. Naaliw sa iba’t ibang laro, nalibang din manuod ng series, sumaya sa piling ng mahal ko at mga kaibigan. Pero hindi pa rin masaya ang araw-araw.

Nagkaroon ng mga kaibigang pumanaw. Mga kakilalang hindi na ulit makikita at makakasama. Maagang nilisan ang mundo dahil sa sakit, pagkalungkot, at pagsuko sa problema. Nakakalungkot mang isipin ngunit kailangang unti-unting tanggapin. Maging isang taon ng paghilom sana ang darating na taon para sa lahat.

Lumaki rin ang aming pamilya, ang tatlo kong aso’y nadagdagan ng tatlo pa. Dumating ang mga tutang sina Luffy, Nami, at ang ampon naming si Beauty. Masaya ako at lumalaki silang malusog at makukulit. Proud fur daddy here.

Naging taon din ito ng vaccination. Dumami na ang nabakunahan at unti-unting nababawasan ang kaso ng covid 19. Naging fully vaccinated na rin kaming pamilya at mga katrabaho. May mga pagkakataong naging closed contact, pero sobrang buti ng Panginoon at pinapanatili niya kaming malayo sa anumang sakit. Salamat, Lord sa lahat ng pag-iingat sa’min.

Taon din ito nang muling pagtatagpo sa mga kaibigang matagal na nawala’y dahil sa distansya, trabaho, at panahon. Nagbukas ng bagong oportunidad upang muling alalahanin ang masasayang sandali sa ibabaw ng mesa habang humihigop ng malamig na kapeng hinaluan ng matatamis na ngiti at halakhakan. Itinago ang bawat sandaling magkakasama sa lente ng camera. Sa memorya ng bawat isang mananatili nang nakaukit habang buhay. Masaya ako at marami akong kaibigang muling nakausap. At masasabi kong panahon lang ang lumayo pero hindi ang loob at pagsasamahan.

Siguro’y nga’y tumatanda na tayo. Unti-unti ko nang nararamdaman ‘yung pakiramdam na kailangan mo nang ipriority at ayusin ang mga bagay-bagay at hindi na magpadala lang dahil sa emosyon. Marunong na tayong umunawa sa sitwasyon bawat isa. Nabawasan na ang nga tampo sa nga planong hindi natuloy, sa mga kaibigang nawawalan ng oras makipagkita dahil sa nature ng trabaho. Sa trabahong pilit nating iginagapang para sa ating kinabukasan at pamilya. Sa mga luhong isinantabi para mag-ipon at unahin ang tunay na importante sa buhay. Marami ang dapat matutunan, marami pang ituturo sa’tin ang panahon.

Sa darating na bagong taon, mabubukas muli ang bagong oportunidad sa ating lahat. Nawa’y maging taon ito upang matupad na natin ang ating mga pangarap (kahit unti-unti). Nawa’y maging panahon ito ng paghilom, ng pagbangon, ng pagbalik ng ating ngiti at sigla, at tapang na muling harapin ang anumang pagsubok na darating. Isang panibagong taong iguguhit ang bawat sandalj ng pamamalagi sa mundong tahanan ng saya’t pag-asa. Maligayang bagong taon sa ating lahat.

P.S.

Sana off duty pa rin ako next year. Hahaha

Random lang: Kahit pala aware ka na, na masakit sya magsalita iba parin talaga kapag sinasabi nya na sayo no? Ang simple lang naman ng pinag-awayan namin ngayon, infact sa simpleng "sige" na reply lang. Hahaha pero bat grabe yung masasakit na salitang narinig ko? Haha shet di ko nga alam bat ako naiiyak ngayon eh dati naman pag masasakit nasasabi nun sakin, masakit oo pero napapalampas ko pero ngayon di ko alam bat ako nagbbreakdown. Nariyang nasabihan ka ng bobo, ng nakakasawang ugali, ng ulol sayo na yang sorry mo at pinakamasakit? Yung tanungin ka kung "ganun ka ba kahalaga? sa tingin mo?" dito ko sobrang nasaktan na halos may bumarang kung ano sa lalamunan ko habang pinipigilan kong maiyak. Oa siguro ako pero para sa simpleng away? parang sobra naman ata para makarinig ako ng ganon sakanya. Ito ata yung unang pagkakataon na nakiusap ako sakanyang wag na sya magreply at iseen nalang yung message ko kasi pakiramdam ko sasabog ako anumang oras.

Kaya di ko rin masisi yung sarili ko kung bakit pakiramdam ko dapat akong dumistansya at magpakalayo layo ng sandalj, siguro kasi masyado na silang nasasanay sa presensya ko, na nandyan lang ako anumang oras at nakakasawa ang presensya ko.

Nakakalungkot mang isipin pero oo, kasi ganun naman diba kapag nafeel lang natin yung kulang sa presensya ng isang tao, dun lang natin mare-realize. Yun eh kung may bilang ka talaga sakanya.
