Life His father was Miroslav of Hum (r. 1166–1190; 1192) and his mother was a sister of Ban Kulin of Bosnia. Miroslav had ruled Hum under nominal rule of his brother, Stefan Nemanja. In order to secure Serbian-German relations, during the talks between Stefan Nemanja and Frederic Barbarossa during his passing through Serbia during the Third Crusade, it was arranged that Toljen was betrothed (between 27 Jul 1189 and 24 Apr 1190) to the daughter of Berthold IV, "Duke of Merano Marchese di Istria" and his wife Agnes von Wettin. Berthold IV, who was in Barbarossa's entourage at Niš, had an important part in the Serbian-German talks.Srejović 1892, p. 257 It was also decided that ''knez'' Toljen would succeed his father before any of his brothers.

Constantine Diogenes (son Of Romanos IV)
Constantine Diogenes (; died 1073) was one of the sons of Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes (reigned 1068–1071). He was a son of Romanos with his first wife Anne, a daughter of Alusian, and hence excluded from the line of succession when his father married the empress-dowager Eudokia Makrembolitissa in 1068. He was named after his grandfather, general Constantine Diogenes (died 1032). The then ''kouropalatissa'' Anna Dalassene (later, regent of the empire), wife of the brother of the late Emperor Isaac I Komnenos, despised the Doukas imperial family. According to perceptions of Anna Dalassene, the Doukas men had usurped the imperial dignity by tricking emperor Isaac into resigning and her husband, the '' kouropalates'' John Komnenos, into refusing the throne. Anna Dalassene expected the Doukas men to lead the country to military problems. Consequently, Anna Dalassene plotted with Romanos Diogenes and others to push the underage Michael VII Doukas aside.

Vukan Of Rascia
Vukan I (, ; 1050 – 1112) was the Grand Prince of Serbia from 1083 until he died in 1112. During their first years he ruled together with his brother Marko. With the death of his uncle, King Constantine Bodin of Duklja in 1101, he became the most powerful ruler among Serbian princes.

Biography Vukan was the first-born of Petrislav, the son of King Mihailo I and his second Greek wife.''The early medieval Balkans'', p. 223 He and his brother Marko swore an oath of loyalty to Constantine Bodin and took power as his vassals in Serbia in 1083 or 1084. Marko later disappears from sources. Neither Bosnia, Zachlumia, nor ''Raška'' (i.e. Serbia) were ever permanently integrated into the Kingdom of Duklja. Each region had its nobility and institutions and acquired a Vojislavljević to head as Župan. In 1089, Bodin managed to raise the bi ...

Anna Diogenissa
Anna of Byzantium (; ca. first half of the 12th century), also designated by some modern genealogists as Anna Diogenissa (), was Grand Princess consort of Serbia, as wife of Uroš I, Grand Prince of Serbia (r. ca. 1112–1145). Her name is known only from late medieval Serbian genealogies, while her Byzantine origin was recorded by Italian chronicler Pietro Ranzano (d. 1492). Since Uroš I had several children, including sons Uroš II, Beloš and Desa, and also daughters Helena of Serbia, Queen of Hungary and Marija, Duchess of Znojmo, Anna is considered as their mother. Life Anna's name is recorded only in late medieval Serbian genealogies, that are designating her as wife of ''Bela Uroš'' (), who is identified as the Grad Prince Uroš I. In later genealogies she is also designated as a French princess, but that is considered to be a very late addition, and thus rejected by scholars, since late medieval Italian chronicler Pietro Ranzano, who served at Hungarian court (1 ...

Uroš I Of Rascia
__NOTOC__ Uroš ( sr-Cyrl, Урош) is a South Slavic masculine given name used primarily by Slovenes and Serbs. This noun has been interpreted as "lords", because it usually appears in conjunction with ''velmõžie'' () "magnates", as in the phrase "magnates and lords". The noun was probably borrowed from the Hungarian word ''úr'', "master" or "lord". The suffix ''-oš'' in ''uroš'' is found in a number of Slavic given or last names, particularly those of the Croats, Serbs, Czechs, and Poles. The name may refer to: * Several kings and tsars called '' Stefan Uroš'' * Grand Prince Uroš I (1112-1145) * Grand Prince Uroš II Prvoslav (1145–1162) * Uroš Golubović, footballer * Uroš Spajić, footballer * Uroš Stamatović, footballer * Uroš Slokar, basketballer * Uroš Tripković, basketballer * Uroš Predić, painter * Uroš Knežević, painter * Uroš Đurić, painter and actor * Uroš Lajovic, conductor * Uroš Dojčinović, guitarist * Uroš Umek, Slovene DJ * Uro ...

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 ...

Third Crusade
The Third Crusade (1189–1192) was an attempt led by King Philip II of France, King Richard I of England and Emperor Frederick Barbarossa to reconquer the Holy Land following the capture of Jerusalem by the Ayyubid sultan Saladin in 1187. For this reason, the Third Crusade is also known as the Kings' Crusade. It was partially successful, recapturing the important cities of Acre and Jaffa, and reversing most of Saladin's conquests, but it failed to recapture Jerusalem, which was the major aim of the Crusade and its religious focus. After the failure of the Second Crusade of 1147–1149, the Zengid dynasty controlled a unified Syria and engaged in a conflict with the Fatimid rulers of Egypt. Saladin ultimately brought both the Egyptian and Syrian forces under his own control, and employed them to reduce the Crusader states and to recapture Jerusalem in 1187. Spurred by religious zeal, King Henry II of England and King Philip II of France (later known as "Philip Augustus") e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
