  Vukan van Raška (Servisch: ?????) (* ±1054) was župan van Raška van ongeveer 1080 tot 1114. Hij was de zoon van Petrislav en de oudere broer van Marko.
  
  Vukan werd door Konstantin Bodin, de koning van Dioclitië, tot župan van Raška aangesteld. Na het overlijden van Konstantin Bodin verplaatste het zwaartepunt van het vroegere Servië zich landinwaarts, naar Raška. Vukan werd een zeer betekenisvolle vorst van Servië. Hij voerde oorlogen tegen Byzantium en had een grote invloed op het koninkrijk Dioclitië. Rond 1114 werd hij echter verslagen door Byzantium, en volgde zijn zoon Uroš hem op als župan van Raška in 1118. Vukan werd door keizer Alexius gedwongen de Byzantijnse onderhorigheid te aanvaarden, en als deel van de overeenkomst moest hij twintig gijzelaars overhandigen.

  Vukan of Serbia (Serbian: ????? ; ca. 1050–1115) was the Grand Prince of Serbia (Rascia) from 1083 until his death in 1112. He ruled together with his brother, Marko. With the death of his uncle Constantine Bodin in 1101, he becomes the most powerful ruler of the Serbian principalities. He defeated the Byzantines several times, conquering parts of north Macedonia.
  
  He is the eponymous founder of the House of Vukanovic.

  Background
  Balkans, 960s.
  
  Rascia was the crownland and seat of the Serbian Principality until its annexation in 969 by the Byzantines. The Catepanate of Ras was short-lived, followed by a brief Bulgarian annexation and Byzantine rule until 1043 (see Theme of Sirmium).
  
  In the last years of the 10th century, Jovan Vladimir emerges as the ruler of Duklja, a successor state of Serbia and vassal to the Byzantines. Duklja is attacked in 997, by Samuel of Bulgaria, who manages to capture Vladimir. Samuilo's daughter falls in love with the prisoner, and the two are wed, the new son-in-law receives his previous lands including Dyrrhacium to rule as vassal. Samuilo died in 1014, and was succeeded by Gavril Radomir, who ruled only for a year, before being killed by his cousin Ivan Vladislav, who took the throne. Vladislav went on to lure Vladimir to his court, and beheaded him outside a church in 1016. The rule was resumed by Dragomir, Vladimir's uncle, who ruled for two years, being killed by locals of Kotor in 1018.
  
  Stefan Vojislav rules as Byzantine vassal, but in 1034 he renounces imperial rule, and his office is replaced by the strategos of Serbia Theophilos Erotikos. He is imprisoned in 1035, but manages to escape in 1038, returning and instigating a new revolt, this time successful. He continues with conquering Travunia and Zahumlje. In 1040 he defeats an army led by Ljutovid, and in 1042 another Byzantine army, securing the future of his realm. According to contemporary Byzantine writers, he was the archon of Serbs, signifying supreme rule among the nation.
  
  Mihailo I had in 1052 accepted Byzantine overlordship, marrying the niece of Constantine IX. In 1071, he aids the Slavic insurrection in Macedonia against the Byzantines, sending his son Constantine Bodin to act as Emperor of Bulgaria. As he had by the aid to Bulgaria, renounced Byzantine rule, he looked to the west, seeing potential in an alliance with the Pope. In 1077 he was titled King, ruling until his death in 1081. Mihailo had after the conquest of Rascia, appointed his son Petrislav as Grand Prince. Constantine Bodin succeeds his father Mihailo as nominal King, appointing Stefan at Bosnia.
  Life
  Early
  Balkans, 1090.
  
  Vukan was the first-born of Petrislav, the son of King Mihailo I and his second Greek wife.[1] He and his brother Marko swore an oath of loyalty to Constantine Bodin and took power as his vassals in Rascia in 1083 or 1084.[1] Marko later disappears from sources.[1] Neither Bosnia, Zachlumia nor Rascia were ever integrated into Duklja. Each Županate had its own nobility and institutions and acquired a Vojislavljevic to head as Župan.[1]
  
  In 1089, Bodin managed to raise the bishopric of Bar to an Archbishopric, by supporting the pope against an antipope. The suffragan bishops were to be: Kotor, Ulcinj, Svac, Skadar, Drivast, Pula, Ras, Bosnia and Trebinje.[1] In obtaining its promotion, it acquired a much larger diocese, including territory that earlier had not been under the pope - territories of the metropolitan of Durazzo and Archbishop of Ochrid, two sees that recognized the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.[1] The Bar Archbishopric's new territory were merely theoretical - the pope's edict could only affect the churches that recognized Rome.[1] Making Rascia a suffragan to Bar had little meaning, as most of its churches were under Constantinople, and there is none evidence of Vukan changing adherence to Rome.[1] Durazzo and Ochrid may have suffered minimal territorial losses along the coast, Duklja was briefly a subject to Rome, however inland Duklja was not affected, and along with much of Duklja's coast (like most of Kotor) was to retain its loyalty to Orthodoxy.[1]
  
  A Byzantine campaign was launched against Duklja between 1089 and 1091, possibly managing to take Bodin captive for a second time.[2] Civil war broke out in the realm among Bodin's relatives, greatly weakening Duklja, giving the chance for Rascia to assert itself and break away.[2] Vukan asserts independence, as well as Bosnia and Zahumlje.[2] Up to this point, Duklja had been the center of the Serbian realm, as well as the main resistance to Byzantium in the Balkans.[2] Rascia becamos the most powerful of Serbian states, remaining so throughout the Middle Ages.[3] Rascia, of which prestige rose, replaced Duklja as the main opponent of Byzantine rule in the 12th century.[2] Bodin's heirs were forced to recognize Byzantine overlordship, and had now only the small territory of Duklja and Travunia.[2]
  Emergance
  
  In 1091 or 1092, Vukan became independent,[2] taking the title of Grand Prince (Veliki Župan).[3] His state was centered around present-day Novi Pazar.[3] Subordinate to him were local dukes (Župan, holding a territory equivalent of a county), who seem to have been more or less autonomous in the internal affairs of their counties, but who were obliged to be loyal to Vukan, and supporting him in battle.[3] It seems that the dukes were hereditary holders of their counties, holding their land before Duklja annexed Rascia.[3]
  
  In about 1090, Vukan began raiding Byzantine territory, first in the vicinity of Kosovo.[3] Initially the Byzantines were unable to take steps against Vukan, as they faced a serious threat in the invading Pechenegs.[4] On 29 April, 1091, the Byzantines destroyed the Pecheneg force.[4] With the defeat of the Pechenegs, Alexios I Komnenos could now turn to the Serbs.[4]
  War with Byzantines
  
  Alexios I first sent an army with the strategos of Durazzo, which was defeated by Vukan in 1092.[4] The Emperor now mobilized a much larger army, led by himself, marching onto Rascia.[4] Vukan sends envoys, seeking peace which Alexios I quickly accepted, as a new problem had arisen at home in the Cumans who plundered the lands as far as Adrianople.[4] Immediately after the Emperor's departure, Vukan breaks the treaty, and began to expand along the Vardar, obtaining much booty and taking the cities of Vranje, Skopje and Tetovo.[4] In 1094 or 1095, Alexios I marched out to meet the Serbs. Vukan and his dukes arrive at the Emperor's tent and offer peace, with his own son Uros I as hostage (throughout the 12th century it was usual for relatives of the Grand Prince to stay at the imperial court as hostages of peace).[4]
  
  At this time, Rascia was independent - Vukan acted entirely on his own, no longer a vassal of Duklja.[4] Duklja, because of its civil war, did not involve itself in the Rascian-Byzantine wars.[4]
  
  Vukan again marched south, into Macedonia. Alexios could not do anything about him as the Crusade took place. In 1106 Vukan submitted to Alexios.[5]
  Last years
  
  Following Bodin's death in 1101, Bodin's half-brother Dobroslav II succeeded him as king of Doclea. Kocopar Branislavljevic, Bodin's first cousin once removed, travelled from Dyrrhachium to Rascia, forging an alliance with Vukan. This alliance would prove worthy in their successful invasion of Doclea in 1102. The battle that ensued at the Moraca led to the overthrow of Dobroslav II and the coronation of Kocopar to the throne. Dobroslav was subsequently banished to Rascia. However, Kocopar's reign was short-lived as well as Vukan had been planning to install Bodin's nephew, Vladimir to the Doclean throne. Kocopar, having lost influence among the Zachlumoi, married the daughter of a Zachlumian (Bosnian) prince (knez). However, in the Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja, the chronicler specifically mentioned that at the time, Zachlumia was ruled by a ban, not a knez. Kocopar later died in battle against the Zachlumoi. Upon his death, Vukan installed Bodin's nephew Vladimir as planned, to whom he gave his daughter as a wife and so strengthened ties between Rascia and Doclea. A mere pawn in dynastic conflicts, Vladimir was poisoned in 1118 under orders from Queen Jaquinta, widow of his late uncle, Constantine Bodin. Jaquinta then appointed her son, George, to the Doclean throne.
  
  Upon spreading his influence in Doclea, Vukan invaded Byzantium once more in the spring of 1106. He was probably attempting to take advantage of the Norman campaign against the Byzantines (see Byzantine–Norman wars). In a battle, he defeated John II Komnenos again. The war was concluded by November of that year, with Vukan being forced to send hostages once again to emperor Alexios I in return for peace. There is no written record of Vukan after this war.
  
  Scholars believe Vukan died after 1112.[a] Vukan's successor was Uroš I his nephew through Marko.

  The Vukanovic (Serbian: ??????????, also known as the Uroševic) was a medieval Serbian dynasty that reigned over Rascia and Zachlumia between late-11th century and mid-13th century. The house itself directly descended from the Vojislavljevic, which ruled over medieval Serb lands. The dynasty was succeeded by its direct descendant, the Nemanjic.
  
  The Vukanovic was named after its founder, Vukan. However, the House itself was also known as the Uroševic after Vukan's nephew, Uroš I, who was a powerful ruler and more well-known.
  
  The rulers of this dynasty were split into two branches: the Rascian branch and the Zachumlian branch. Rulers of the Rascian branch wore the title Duke of Rascia from its foundation, while its Zachlumian branch wore the title Duke of Zachlumia. Other titles included Ban of Croatia, held by Beloš of the Rascian branch, Prince of Doclea (Zeta) and Travunia, held by Desa of the Rascian branch, and Count of Split, held by Petar of the Zachlumian branch. Other titles included Duke of Upper Zachlumia, held by Toljen II of the Zachlumian branch, Duke of Southern Zachlumia, held by Andrija of the Zachlumian branch, and Prince of the Seaside, also held by Andrija of the Zachlumian branch.
  
  According to the Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja, Doclean king Constantine Bodin gained Rascia in 1083 / 84 and assigned two princes who lived in his castle, brothers Vukan and Marko, to govern Rascia. According to Mavro Orbini, Bodin split Rascia into two principalities, assigning one of the principalities to Vukan and the other to Marko.
