Yes, Ivan III of Russia, also known as Ivan the Great, married a Byzantine princess. His wife, Sophia Palaeologina, was the niece of the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI. This marriage in 1472 symbolized the connection between the Russian state and the legacy of the Byzantine Empire, enhancing Ivan's legitimacy and power.
