{{Eastern name order|Wass Angelitha}}
'''Angelitha Wass''' ({{IPA|hu|ˈɒŋɡɛlitɒ ˈvɒʃʃ|lang}}; 15th century &ndash; after 1521) was a [Hungarian](/source/Hungarian_people) [lady's maid](/source/lady's_maid) of [Anne of Foix-Candale](/source/Anne_of_Foix-Candale), [Queen consort of Bohemia and Hungary](/source/List_of_Hungarian_consorts),<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oX5QAAAAcAAJ&q=Angelitha+Wass |title=Századok |date=1903 |publisher=Akadémiai Kiadó |language=hu}}</ref> and later a [mistress](/source/List_of_royal_mistresses_of_Hungary) of Anne's son, [Louis II](/source/Louis_II_of_Hungary) [Jagiellon](/source/Jagiellon), [King of Hungary](/source/King_of_Hungary).

==Life==
She became pregnant by King Louis and gave birth to an illegitimate son, [János (John) Wass](/source/J%C3%A1nos_Wass), self-titled "Prince John". At the time of Louis' death aged 20 at the [Battle of Mohács](/source/Battle_of_Moh%C3%A1cs), his wife and he had not had any children. John was never officially recognized as Louis' son. His and his mother's names appear in the sources of the Chamber in [Pozsony](/source/Pozsony) (now [Bratislava](/source/Bratislava)) as either ''János Wass'' or ''János Lanthos'', which could refer to the fact that he used his mother's name first, then that of his occupation (''lantos'' means '[lutanist](/source/lutanist), [bard](/source/bard)').

Angelitha Wass married a Hungarian nobleman but did not have any further issue. She died as a widow.<ref>See Takáts (1903).</ref>
