Stracimir Balšić (; fl. 1360 – 15 January 1373†) was a Lord of Zeta, alongside his two brothers Đurađ I and Balša II, in ca. 1362–1372. The Balšić family took over Zeta, by 1362, during the fall of the Serbian Empire. Stracimir took monastic vows and died in 1373. He left three sons, one of whom later became the Lord of Zeta (Đurađ II). ==Life== Stracimir was the eldest son of Balša I (his two brothers were Balša II and Đurađ I), a petty nobleman who held only one village during the rule of Serbian Emperor Stephen Dušan the Mighty (r. 1331–1355).〔Fajfrić 2000, ch. 44, "Oblasni gospodari"〕 Some years after the death of the Emperor, Balša I and his sons managed to expand their local power, beginning by taking lands previously held by Lord Žarko (south of Lake Skadar, Lower Zeta).〔 In 1361, during a conflict between the Republic of Ragusa and Vojislav Vojinović, they supported Ragusa. For this, they became Ragusan citizens in May or 3 July 1361.〔ES III 179〕 In 1362, the three brothers killed ''čelnik'' Đuraš Ilijić, and expanded further into Upper Zeta.〔 Their father died the same year.〔 The brothers succeeded their father ruling Zeta together, though Đurađ I was the major figure.〔 They were called ''"oblastni gospodari"'' ("provincial lords") in charters of Emperor Uroš V the Weak (r. 1355–1371).〔 In 1368, after Đurađ I's attack on Kotor, the Serbian court deemed him a rebel. The brothers converted from Serbian Orthodoxy to Roman Catholicism in 1368/1369, in order to further their coastal ambitions. Stracimir married firstly Irene Duklina, and secondly Milica Mrnjavčević, the daughter of ''Serbian King'' Vukašin Mrnjavčević. He had three sons with Milica: *Đurađ II (1385–1403), married Jelena Lazarević *Gojko (died before 1372) *Ivaniš (died before 1372) Stracimir died on 15 January 1373,〔 and the power was now shared by Đurađ I, Balša II, and Stracimir's son Đurađ II, who each held an individual appanage.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stracimir Balšić」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
