Stefan Radoslav

Stefan Radoslav (Стефан Радослав) (around 1192-1234) king of Serbia from 1227 to 1233.

Radoslav was the oldest son and heir of Stefan Prvovenčani. As ruler he was blind and relied on his father-in-law, despot of Epirus Theodore Angelus (1215-1230). When his father-in-law was beaten by Bulgarians, Radoslav could not remain in power as well: nobility dethroned him and brought on the throne his younger brother Vladislav. Disappointed in his family as well, Radoslav ended his life as a monk.

His marriage with Ana, daughter of Theodore Angleus, was childless.
