Who was Stefan Vojislav?
Stefan Vojislav was the Prince of Duklja from 1040 to 1043. He had since 1018 been a toparch in Byzantine vassalage, and, in 1034, he led an unsuccessful revolt that landed him in a prison at Constantinople. He managed to escape and returned home, this time successfully gaining independence of his statelet, which he would rule as Prince of the Serbs, a title signifying supreme leadership among Serbs.
He is the eponymous founder of the Vojislavljević dynasty.
