Edit ProfileCareer
Born as Predislav (Предислав) in c. 1198, he was the middle son of King Stefan the First-Crowned and Eudokia Angelina. He also had two sisters, Komnena being the only one whose name is known.
King Stefan the First-Crowned, who had become ill, took monastic vows and died in 1227.
The younger sons, Vladislav and Uroš I, received appanages. Sava II (Predislav) was appointed bishop of Hum shortly thereafter, later serving as Archbishop of Serbia (1263-1270).
The Church and state was thus dominated by the same family and the ties between the two as well as the family"s role within the Church continued.
