Louis I, King of Hungary retained her and her sister at the Hungarian court after her father was restored in Vidin in 1370. Later King Louis I gave her in marriage to his cousin-in-law, ban Tvrtko I Kotromanić of Bosnia.

In December 1374 in Saint Ilija (today's Ilinci) near Šid Dorothea married Tvrtko I of Bosnia and became banness of Bosnia. In 1377 her husband was crowned King and she took the title of Queen of Bosnia. Queen Dorothea died in 1390.
