Dobroslav was overthrown and was banished to Rascia. In the meantime, the Rascian army, along with Kočopar and Vukan, took over Duklja. Kočopar wasn't able to hold his position in Duklja, and thus escaped to Zachumlia, where he died. Vladimir, Dobroslav's nephew, assumed the throne of Duklja after Kočopar's death. Dobroslav was later released from prison in Rascia and returned to Duklja. However, upon arrivial, King Vladimir imprisoned Dobroslav in Scutari.
