The Vukoslavić family (
History
The history starts with župan (Duke)
Vukoslav had two sons, Crep and Držman. Crep was a vassal to Prince Lazar of Serbia, and held the frontier region around Petrus Fortress, in Paraćin.[2] Crep, together with his neighbour noble Vitomir, defeated an Ottoman army at the Battle of Dubravnica on the Dubravnica River near Paraćin on 25 December 1380/1381.[2][3]
Crep founded
The family was involved in a brief conflict[4] about a church and its villages (Lešje[2]) that Vukoslav had given to Chilandar in 1360. The two brothers had asked for the return of these, and Lazar had supported them (mentioned in the chrysobulls of Lazar[5][6]). It was settled in 1411, when Despot Stefan Lazarević gave Hilandar other donations, returning Vukoslavs' donations to Venedikt, the son of Crep.
