Biography

Vasilisa was the youngest daughter of Tsar Ivan Alexander from his marriage to Sara-Theodora and a sister of Desislava.

She is mentioned in the Synodikon of Tsar Boril, but is absent from the family portraits in the Tetraevangelion of 1355/56 — probably because she died very young, before or shortly after the manuscript was made.
