Stavilac ( sr-cyr, ставилац, literally meaning "placer") was a court title in Medieval Bosnia and Medieval Serbia in the Middle Ages. It was similar to the Byzantine court offices of ''domestikos'' and cup-bearer (''pinkernes'', known in Serbian as ''peharnik'').

According to studies of Rade Mihaljčić, the ''holder'' was in charge of acquiring, preparing and serving food at the royal table. It was a confidant duty, given to the highest and most notable nobility, in which the ruler relied on in all occasions.

Vlado (kaznac)
Vlado Blinishti ( 1274–1304) was an Albanian nobleman and the first recorded member of the Blinishti family which held territories across northern Albania during the 13th and 14th centuries. Vlado is recorded for the first time in an Angevin document of 1274 outlining an agreement made between Charles I of Anjou and members of the Albanian nobility. In the document, Vlado appears with the title of '' miles'' (''Blado Bletista miles'') indicating his position and history as a knight, formerly serving under the Byzantines. Following his alignment with the Angevins, Vlado began establishing political ties with the Kingdom of Serbia and earned the title of ''kaznac'' which he held from 1274 to 1304. As a result of Vlado's distancing from the Angevins and a seeming violation of his agreement with Charles I, Vlado was captured and imprisoned by Johannes Scoctus, the captain (''miles capitaneus'') of Durazzo in 1279 and sent to Brindisi as a prisoner. However, in 1304 Vlado would co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
