B. ANGELINA CORBARA 61 Ven. Angelina (i), Oct. 9. fc. 1 170. Hxm at Fontevraalt, in Anjoa. She was of one of tlie noble families of Anjon, and was consecrated to God, in the con- sent of Fontevranlt, by her parents, in her childhood. She had the most bean- tifal voice that ever was heard in the <^oir there. A time came when she had to choose whether she would take the Teil or leave the convent and live in the world. A dream decided her voca- tion, and she became a nun. She had paroxysms of love to God. She died yonng, abont 1 1 70. Her biographer ex- horts his readers to ask her intercession, bat it does not appear that she has ever been honoured with public worship. Chambard, Saints Personnages d'Anjou. St. Angelina (2). I4th century. Wife of St Lazarus. The elder of two SS. Angelina, queens of Servia, Helen Angelina Militza, afterwards in re- ligion EuPHEMiA, or Eugenia, was of the illustrious family of the Neemanides and related to Stephen Doushan. She mar- ried Lazarus Grbljanovich, the last in- dependent king of Servia. He came to the throne in 1371. He was grandson <^ Stephen Doushan. They had eight children. Lazarus was killed, June 15, 1^89, in the battle of Eossowa, where the Turks defeated the Christian host with great slaughter, and made them- selves masters of Servia and the neigh- bouring states. Bajazet, the conqueror, gave the enslaved kingdom jointly to Stephen the son, and Wuk Brankovich the son-in-law, of Lazarus and Angelina, and took their daughter Olivera for one of his wives. Stephen found his position so difficult that he withdrew for a time, with his mother and a younger brother, Ynk or Vlk, to the monastery of Eussi- kon, on Mount Athos, where the monks' republics were respected and left in peace by all the belligerents. He was accused of plotting with the Hungarians against his over-lord, and Angelina had to go to Bajazet to convince him of her son's innocence. Angelina, Lazarus, and Stephen were universally beloved in their lives,and were worshipped as saints after their death. Lazarus was accounted a martyr. Two different monasteries, Bavanitsch and Yrdnik, claim to have his body in their church, and pilgrims go to visit his shrine at each place. At Yrdnik ho appears wrapped in the em- broidered mantle which he is said to have worn at Kossowa. Stephen died in 1427, and was buried at Belgrade. Mas Latrie says that a chrysobuU of June 8, 1395, in favour of the monastery of Eussikon, on Mount Athos, emanates from the nun Eugenia, her son prince Stephen Lazarevich, and his brother Yuk. Among the spoils of war in the Serai, at Constantinople, hangs the armour of a son-in-law of Angelina and Lazarus, Milosch Eobilovich, who killed the Saltan Murad at Eossowa, and was taken by the guards and hewn in pieces.
