Béla II Of Hungary
Béla the Blind (; ; ; – 13 February 1141) was King of Hungary and Croatia from 1131 to 1141. He was blinded along with his rebellious father Álmos on the order of Álmos's brother, King Coloman of Hungary. Béla grew up in monasteries during the reign of Coloman's son Stephen II. The childless king arranged Béla's marriage with Helena of Rascia, who would become her husband's co-ruler throughout his reign.

John Kinnamos
John Kinnamos or ''Joannes Kinnamos'' or ''John Cinnamus'' ( or Κίναμος; born shortly after 1143, died after 1185), was a Byzantine historian. He was imperial secretary (Greek "grammatikos", most likely a post connected with the military administration) to Emperor Manuel I (1143–1180), whom he accompanied on his campaigns in Europe and Asia Minor. It appears that Kinnamos outlived Andronikos I, who died in 1185. Kinnamos was the author of a history that covered the years 1118–1176, thereby continuing the '' Alexiad'' of Anna Komnene, and covering the reigns of John II and Manuel I, until Manuel's unsuccessful campaign against the Turks, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Myriokephalon. Kinnamos's work breaks off abruptly, though it is highly likely that the original continued to the death of Manuel. There are also indications that the present work is an abridgment of a significantly larger work. The hero of the history is Manuel, and throughout the history Kin ...

Zavida
Zavida (Serbian Cyrillic: Завида) was a 12th-century Serbian nobleman, and father of prince Miroslav of Hum, mentioned as such in the Miroslav Gospel, and in the ktetor inscription in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Bijelo Polje. Since Miroslav was brother of Stefan Nemanja, Grand Prince of Serbia (1166-1196), Zavida is also considered as Nemanja's father too. Zavida was a kinsman of earlier Grand Princes of Serbia, including Vukan I and Uroš I, or even a son of Vukan or Uroš, as proposed by some historians, since Stefan Nemanja's descendants are named ''Vukan'' and ''Uroš'' in several generations, but those genealogical questions are not considered as definitively resolved. As a nobleman (župan) in Serbia, Nemanja's father (presumably Zavida) got into conflict with his brothers, sometime during the first half of the 12th century, resulting in him being exiled to the Duklja (Zeta) region, where his son Nemanja would be born, in ''Ribnica'' (part of present-day P ...
