Mutimir

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mutimir , the eldest son of the Serbian prince Vlastimir , was Grand Župan Rasziens from around 860 to 890.

With his brothers Strojimir and Gojnik , who were all co-regents, he repulsed Bulgarian attacks under Khan Boris . They were able to capture his son Vladimir . During the reign of Mutimir and his brothers, the Christianization of the Serbian tribes was completed. After defeating the Bulgarians, Mutimir drove out his brothers, who were accepted into Bulgaria, and thus became sole ruler. They were followed by his son Prvoslav , who ruled Serbia from 891 to 892. The other two sons were named Boren and Stefan. His rule is mentioned in the work De Administrando Imperio of the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII .
