Following the death of his first wife, Elizabeth of Frankopan, Count Frederick II of Celje, eldest son
of Count Herman II, secretly married Veronica of Desenice against the will of his father. Although the anonymous writer of the Chronicle of the Counts of Celje describes Veronica as belonging to a modest knightly family, Frederick wrote in a letter to the Doge of Venice that he had married the young daughter of a powerful Hungarian baron.
