Maria dalle Carceri (died 1323) was sovereign marchioness of Bodonitsa from 1311 until 1323. She succeeded her late spouse Albert Pallavicini on his death in 1311.[1] While she avoided submitting her principality to the Catalan Company, she could not avoid paying an annual tribute of four destriers.
Maria was descended from a Lombard family of Verona that had come to Greece on the Fourth Crusade.[1] She was a daughter of Gaetano dalle Carceri and heiress of a sixth of Euboea.[2] She married Albert, and after his death she and their daughter Guglielma split the Marquisate between them, as required by law.[1] Considering the recent Catalan victory at Halmyros, Maria desired to marry again quickly to a man who would protect hers and her daughter's possessions. She married Andrea Cornaro and Guglielma inherited the whole marquisate on his death.
