Vlastimir of Serbia

Vlastimir of Serbia

Vlastimir was the name of two early Serbian dukes ("knez"), grandfather and grandson.

Vlastimir was the son of Prosigoj. He ruled over the Serbs around 825—850, and he was the actual founder of the House of Vlastimirović.

During his reign, Bulgaria invaded Serbia but made no progress after 3 years of war. Vlastimir defeated the Bulgar army in 840s.

He had three sons and one daughter. His daughter married knez Krajina, son of Beloje, župan of Travunija (Trabounia). Each son had his own domain, but Mutimir, the eldest, was the supreme ruler, his two brothers being subjugated (vassals) to him. The brothers successfully fought off a Bulgarian onslaught by Tsar Boris I in 852 and captured the son of Tsar Boris I. After Mutimirs rise as the chief, the two youngest brothers was pushed aside and rebelled against their brother Mutimir, who defeated them and sent them as prisoners to Bulgarian Khan Boris.
