Uro I van Raka (Servisch: ???? I ?????????, Uro I Vukanovic), was Servisch grootupan van ongeveer 1118 tot 1140.
Nadat zijn vader Vukan door Byzantium verslagen was, werd Uro I, met de steun van Ðorde Vojisavljevic (de koning van Dioclitië), in 1118 upan van Raka. Hij verklaarde zich onafhankelijk van Byzantium, trachtte een verbond met Hongarije aan te gaan en verstevigde de invloed van Raka op Dioclitië en de Kustlanden. Met het overlijden van Ðorde Vojislavljevic (± 1131) voegde Uro Dioclitië en de Kustlanden helemaal onder de heerschappij van Raka, hetgeen stand zou houden tot 1360. Hijzelf werd Servisch grootupan. Uro I had twee zonen en een dochter. Zijn oudste zoon Uro II volgde hem op als Servisch grootupan, de jongste zoon Belo werd prins-regent van Hongarije, zijn dochter Jelena werd de gemalin van de Hongaarse koning Béla II en zijn dochter Maria, echtgenote van hertog Koenraad II van Moravië.
Uro I (Serbian: ???? I) was the Grand Prince (Veliki upan) of the Grand Principality of Serbia from about 1112 to 1145.

Biography
Origin
Uro I was the son of Marko[a], the brother of Grand Prince Vukan, who had sworn an oath of loyalty to Constantine Bodin, the Grand Prince of Duklja, becoming his vassals.[1] Marko, as the subordinate ruler, would have had his appanage in lands north of Rascia, bordering the Kingdom of Hungary.[2] The name Uro itself, is most likely derived from the Hungarian word úr meaning "dominus" or "princeps", which is translated into the Slavic name 'Prvoslav', or 'Primislav', as seen in the case of Uro II in Slavic sources.[3] It is a possibility that Marko married a Hungarian wife.[3]
War with Byzantium
In 1092, the Serb Army defeated the Byzantine Army led by the governor of Durazzo, sent by Alexius Comnenus. In 1093, Alexius himself led a larger Byzantine Army and marched towards Rascia, but Vukan heard of this and immediately sought peace, Alexius quickly accepted as new problems arose in the east where the Cumans penetrated as far as Adrianople. As soon as the Emperor had departed, Vukan broke the treaty, conquering the Vardar; taking the cities of Vranje, Skoplje and Tetovo. In 1094 or 1095, the Emperor once again marched to the Serbs, capturing Lipljan, this time Vukan met with him in his tent and gave him some twenty hostages, including Uro I and Stefan Vukan, as an oath of peace.[4] Uro was first mentioned in the contemporary Alexiad of Anna Komnene, a written account of the reign of her father Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
Following the death of Vukan in 1112, Uro succeeds as Grand Prince.[5]
Civil War in Duklja
In 1113/4, the Byzantine Army based in Durazzo invades Duklja, capturing the capital of Scutari. Duklja at the time was ruled by Prince Ðorde of Duklja (r. 1118), the son of Constantine Bodin. The Byzantines install Grubea Branislavljevic after 1118, banishing Ðorde to Rascia. Ðorde claims protection of Uro, and in the 1125 the two led an army against Grubea,[6] meeting in the Battle of Antivari. Grubea is killed, and Ðorde retains his realm, although not all of it, small parts were ruled by cousins, among them the three brothers of Grubea, who would soon quarrel with Ðorde. The Byzantines again invaded the coastlands of Duklja, giving the nominal rule to Gradinja, resulting in a guerilla war in the woods. The second expedition captured Ðorde, he was taken to Constantinople where he died. Gradinja strengthened the ties with Serbia.[7]
Diplomacy
In around 1130, he married his daughter, Jelena, to King Béla II of Hungary. Bela II, being blind, relied entirely on Jelena who acted as a co-ruler. Jelena is sourced as having decided to massacre 68 aristocrats at the Arad assembly, who had persuaded Coloman to blind her husband.
In 1137, Ladislaus II, the son of Béla II and Jelena, becomes the titular Ban of Bosnia.
When Bela II died on 13 February 1141, the eldest son Géza II ascended the throne, still a child. Therefore, Helena and her brother Belo Vukanovic, whom she had invited to the court, governed the Kingdom of Hungary till September 1146 when he came of age.
Belo was the Ban of Croatia 1142-1158, under the Hungarian crown, and held the comes palatinus (Count palatine), the highest court title of the Kingdom.
