Stefan Radoslav

Stefan Radoslav (Стефан Радослав) (around 1192-1234) was king of Serbia from 1228 to 1233.

Radoslav was the oldest son and heir of Stefan Prvovenčani. As ruler he was blind and relied on his father-in-law Theodore Angelus, despot of Epirus (1215-1230). When his father-in-law was beaten by the Bulgarians, Radoslav could no longer remain in power: the nobility dethroned him and placed on the throne his younger brother Vladislav. Disappointed in his family as well, Radoslav ended his life as a monk.

His marriage with Anna, daughter of Theodore Angelus, was childless.
