Prvoslav Radojević

Prvoslav Radojević (Serbian Cyrillic: Првослав Радојевић; fl. 1280) was a Serbian nobleman in the service of Queen Helen of Anjou (consort 1245–76; dowager 1276–1314), with the title of kaznac (chamberlain, camerarius). The title-holder was among the foremost at the Serbian court, taking care of state finances.[1] He was a provincial kaznac, as opposed to the royal (statewide) veliki kaznac.[2] Queen Helen was the consort of king Stefan Uroš I (r. 1243–76) and mother of kings Stefan Dragutin (r. 1276–82) and Stefan Milutin (r. 1282–1321).[3] The Queen governed Zeta and Trebinje during the rule of her sons, until 1309.[4] Prvoslav Radojević is mentioned as serving the Queen in Trebinje in a document dated 8 February 1280 (Pervosclavus Radoevich camerarius Domine Regine in Tribigna).[5] This also shows that Queen Helen had her own kaznac in Trebinje.[5] His office was succeeded by Mrnjan, who is known to have held that office between 1288 and 1290 (possibly somewhat earlier).[6]
