Angelitha Wass
Angelitha Wass (Hungarian: [ˈɒŋɡɛlitɒ ˈvɒʃʃ]; 15th century – after 1521) was a Hungarian lady's maid of Anne of Foix-Candale, Queen consort of Bohemia and Hungary,[1] and later a mistress of Anne's son, Louis II Jagiellon, King of Hungary.
Life
[edit]She became pregnant by King Louis and gave birth to an illegitimate son, János (John) Wass, self-titled "Prince John". At the time of Louis' death aged 20 at the Battle of Mohács, his wife and he had not had any children. John was never officially recognized as Louis' son. His and his mother's names appear in the sources of the Chamber in Pozsony (now Bratislava) as either János Wass or János Lanthos, which could refer to the fact that he used his mother's name first, then that of his occupation (lantos means 'lutanist, bard').
Angelitha Wass married a Hungarian nobleman but did not have any further issue. She died as a widow.[2]
