Branko (čelnik)
Branko ( sr-cyr, Бранко; 1306–19) was a Serbian nobleman with the title of ''čelnik'', serving King Stefan Milutin (r. 1282–1321). He was among the witnesses mentioned in the charter issued to the Ratac Monastery by Milutin in 1306, alongside noblemen ''kaznac'' Miroslav and ''župan'' Vladislav, holding the title of ''čelnik''. He is still in this position in an edict dated 1319. During the reign of Milutin, the title holder was entrusted with the security of property belonging to the Church from the aristocrats, so the holder appeared in the role of a judge or executor of the ruler's decisions, in disputes between the church and the nobility. At that time the title of ''čelnik'' was of a higher rank than ''župan'' and ''stavilac'', but lower than ''kaznac'' and ''tepčija'', with '' vojvoda'' being the supreme title. It is unclear if there was one or several with that title at the court at that time. He was preceded by Gradislav Vojšić and succeeded by Đuraš I ...

The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe.
