Vlado (kaznac)

Vlado (Latin: Blado, Serbian Cyrillic: Владо; fl. 1274–79) was a nobleman in the service of the Serbian kingdom, with the title of kaznac. According to Milan Šufflay he was from the Matjan tribe (Матесеи/Matesei[1]), a former Byzantine stratiot who became kaznac of the Serbian kingdom between 1274 and 1279.[2] He has been identified with the kaznac "Blenisti", who together with his brother Viljem (identified as Gulielm Blinishti), Jovan Musaki and Dimitar Sok were imprisoned in Apulia in 1279 due to leading a rebellion in Albania.[3] They were imprisoned as traitors to Angevin rule (Kingdom of Albania).[1] He is believed to have been the progenitor of the Blinishti family active in northern Albania.[1][4][5]

Annotations

In modern historiography, he is scarcely identified with his presumed family name, as Albanian: Vladi Blinishti[6] or Serbian: Vlado Bliništi (Владо Блиништи[4]).
