She married Constantin Brancoveanu in 1674. She supported and actively participated in the culture policy of her spouse. She had books printed in Romanian, Greek, Slavic, Arabic, Turkic and Georgian, and founded libraries with Western books. She is especially known for her support to the St Sava convent. After the deposition of her spouse in 1714, she was brought as a prisoner to Constantinople by the Ottoman along with the rest of her family. Her spouse and sons were murdered. She was eventually released, and exiled to Caucasus. She was allowed to return to Bucarest in 1716. In 1720, she managed to have the remains of her spouse and sons brought back to Wallachia and buried.
