Vladimir of Duklja

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vladimir was a King of Duklja 1103 - 1113. He was son of Vladimir, who was King Mihailo's son and King Constantin Bodin's oldest brother.

He married a daughter of Vukan, Grand Prince of Rascia, ending the long civil wars with Rascia, and bringing Duklja a long twelve-year peace. Vladimir was appointed to the Dioclean throne by his father-in-law, Vukan, after his uncle, former Dioclean king Kočopar, died in Zachumlia.

Vladimir was a victim of dynastic conflicts. He was poisoned in 1118 under the orders of Queen Jakvinta, widow of his late uncle, Constantine Bodin. Jakvinta soon appointed her son, George, to the Dioclean throne.
