The House of Sratsimir or Sracimir (Bulgarian: Срацимир), also referred to as the Sratsimirovtsi (Bulgarian: Срацимировци), was a medieval Bulgarian dynasty which became the last ruling house of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1331–1422). The Stratsimir dynasty was matrilineally descended from the previous Bulgarian royal houses of Asen and Shishman.[1] After its deposition following the Ottoman conquest of Bulgaria, princes of the Sratsimir dynasty survived in exile in the neighbouring Kingdom of Hungary until at least the second half of the 16th century.[2]
