Since the early 14th century the power of the Despotate of Epirus had been decreasing while the Albanian rulers had been increasing their control over many areas of the despotate . Nikephoros II Orsini , Despot of Epirus decided to establish closer relations to the Serbian Empire by dropping his previous wife Maria Cantacuzena and marrying the sister of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan ' s widow . The Albanians of the Despotate threatened revolt if Orsini married Helena of Bulgaria ' s sister and didn ' t recall Maria , who was part of the Cantacuzene family allied with them .
