Lazar of Serbia
With the rise of the Second Bulgarian Empire and the Kingdom of Serbia, Byzantium's position in Braničevo became untenable. It appears to have finally slipped from their control in 1198. It was a frequent object of contention between the Bulgars, Serbs and Hungarians thereafter. Prince Lazar of Serbia captured it in 1378 or 1379, but it was lost to the Ottoman Empire in 1459.
