Knez Mutimir ruled over Serbs from the second half of 9th century to his death in 892.
He was the eldest son of Knez Vlastimir.
Mutimir, together with his brothers Gojnik and Strojimir, defeated the Bulgar Army sent by Tsar Boris and led by his son, who was together with 18 boilades captured by the Serbs. Mutimir took the throne, leaving his younger brothers with smaller power and soon they rebelled against him, resulting in the younger brothers fleeing for Bulgaria, seeking refuge under Boris.
The two sons of Mutimir were captured by Boris when the Khan was to get his son back, the sons of Boris and Mutimir reached a peaceful resolution, and Mutimir gifts to Boris was 2 slaves, 2 falcons, two dogs, and 80 furs.[1]
