Aspasia Manos

Princess Aspasia Manos (4 September 1896-7 August 1972) was wife of Alexander I, King of the Hellenes.

She was born in Athens in Greece, the daughter of Colonel Petros Manos and his wife Maria Argyropoulos.

On 4 November 1893, at Tatoi, she married Prince Alexander of Greece, who became Alexander I, King of the Hellenes on his father's departure from Greece on 11 June 1917. She never took the title of Queen.

They were the parents of one child, Princess Alexandra of Greece, born posthumously at Tatoi (her father having died of sepsis following a monkey bite), who married Peter II, King of Yugoslavia.

Princess Aspasia Manos and her daughter were the only persons with greek blood in the Royal Family of Greece.

Aspasia died in Venice in Italy and was initially interred at the cemetery of San Michele island near Venice. Her remains were later transferred to the royal cemetery Plot in the park of Tatoi, at Dekéleia (23 km north of Athens.)
