while residing in the monastery, queen maria received visits from bosnians and hungarians that made the venetian authorities grow suspicious. they soon instructed the government of spalato to recommend moving her to sebenico or to an island on the grounds of poor living conditions in the monastery, with the intention of permanently removing her from their territory. unlike her stepmother-in-law (and even the hungarian king), the 16-year-old queen maria refrained from claiming the patrimony of bosnian kings during her exile in dalmatia and ragusa.
