Mihailo Vojislavljević
Mihailo Vojislavljević was the son of Stefan Vojislav and ruled from 1052 to 1077 as Greater Župan in Zeta (Duklja) and from 1077 to 1081 as the first king of this early Serbian Empire .
Mihailo Vojislavljević could not hold together the power structure that his father Stefan Vojislav left him with, Raszien and Bosnia renounced loyalty. In 1072 he unsuccessfully supported the uprising of the Bulgarians against Byzantium , led by Georgi Voitech , where Konstantin Bodin was crowned Bulgarian tsar. Nevertheless, Mihailo got the royal insignia from Pope Gregory VII in 1077 and thus became the first crowned king of the Serbs , also known as Mihailo of Zeta . He was followed by his son Konstantin Bodin around 1081.
