Grgur Golubić

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grgur Golubić (also Grgur Branković ; Serbian - Cyrillic Гргур Голубић ; medium Greek Γούργουρας Gourgouras ; * before 1327, † before July 16, 1398) was a Serbian aristocrat and Governor of the Polog region in western Macedonia under the Tsar Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. And Stefan Uroš V.

Life

Grgur ( Gregor ) was the second son of Sebastokrator Branko Mladenović , governor of Stefan Dušans in the Ohrid Oblast since 1346 . He was thus a grandson of the region Drenica originating Gespans and Voivod Mladen († before 1346), who as governor of Trebinje and Kotor the raszischen King Stefan Uros III. Dečanski had served. His brothers were Nikola Radonja († 1399) and Vuk Branković († 1397). His sister Teodora was the wife of Georg Thopia , son of the Albanian prince Karl Thopia .

As Caesar , Grgur is named in a letter from Pope Innocent VI dated March 1347 . mentioned to the Serbian Tsar. He also appears in Dušan's donation bulls from 1348 to 1353 for the Archangel monastery at Prizren , which indicates that he was wealthy in this region. In 1361 Grgur donated the construction of the Theotokos Church Sveti Zaum on the southeast bank of Lake Ohrid . In the following year he was involved in peace negotiations with the Republic of Ragusa , together with the despot Dejan, on behalf of Stefan Uroš V.

The usurper Vukašin Mrnjavčević chased Grgur out of Ohrid after the death of his father in 1365. What became of him afterwards is uncertain; his date of death is to be set before July 16, 1398. Whether Skanderbeg's mother , Vojsava Tripalda , was his daughter is controversial.
