Obrad (veliki tepčija)

Obrad (Serbian Cyrillic: Обрад) was a Serbian nobleman that served king Stefan Vladislav (r. 1234–43), with the title of veliki tepčija. He is the oldest veliki tepčija known by name.[1] The title-holder took care of the royal estates.[2] He is mentioned in the 1230s, as a "great lord" (veliki gospodin).[3] He had a menologion written, which later came into the possession of Radoslava ("the wife of the tepčija", presumably veliki tepčija Mišljen).[4] The work includes songs to St. Sava.[5] He seems to have not belonged to the royal family.[3]
