After the death of his father Mutimir, his elder brother Pribislav took the Serbian crown, but was deposed after a year by their cousin Petar Gojniković and fled with Bran and Stefan to Croatia.

W. E. Clyde Todd
Walter Edmond Clyde Todd( Smithfield, Ohio, September 6, 1874 – June 25, 1969), generally known as W.E. Clyde Todd, was an American ornithologist.
In 1891 Todd abandoned his studies at Geneva College to take up a post as messenger with Clinton Hart Merriam at the United States Department of Agriculture, where his first job was the sorting and cataloging of a collection of bird stomachs preserved in alcohol.
In Washington he met many leading scientists including Robert Ridgway, whom he took as a role model.
Discontented with government work, in 1898 Todd contracted with the fledgling Carnegie Museum to collect bird specimens in western Pennsylvania.
He soon joined the museum as Assistant, and remained there the rest of his working life, which was much prolonged beyond any normal retirement age.
He continued with field work on Pennsylvania, and later in north -eastern Canada, and would later produce two major works," Birds of Western Pennsylvania"( 1940) and" Birds of the Labrador peninsula and adjacent areas"( 1963); along with many descriptions of new taxa and systematic studies based on the Museum's growing collection of neotropical birds.
Todd's specialty was the Arctic – he participated in over twenty expeditions before producing" Birds of the Labrador Peninsula".
He chose the Arctic as his specialty because of a bout of malaria he contracted while working in Washington, DC, which prevented him from working in tropical climates.
Despite his inability to do fieldwork in Central and South America, his first book was called" The Birds of Santa Marta" and focused on a particular region of Colombia.
Todd's research was based entirely on the collections of bird skins he had amassed at the Carnegie Museum, but he still won the Brewster Prize( the Pulitzer of the ornithological world) for it.
A long- time Fellow of the American Ornithologists' Union, he was elected Fellow Emeritus in 1968.
He was also noted for his local initiatives in conservation and philanthropy.
In his book" Birds of Western Pennsylvania"( 1940) and his pamphlet( published post -mortem)" Birds of the Buffalo Creek Region", he displays both his love of Western Pennsylvania ecology and a prescience about such topics as urban sprawl, global warming, and habitat fragmentation.
He was also a vocal critic of private collections and of museums that amassed multiple versions of the same bird or bird's eggs, denouncing such practices as wasteful and not contributing to the study of birds.
Although he married, he became a widower early in life and did not have any children.
As a result, he devoted a substantial amount of personal resources to conservation of the area where he had spent much of his childhood, Buffalo Township( in Butler County).
In 1942, he purchased seventy- one acres on the site of his grandfather's farm, where he had made his first significant ornithological discovery.
The land would otherwise have been logged; he rescued it via his purchase and donated it to the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania( ASWP) with the suggestion that it be turned into a nature reserve.
The society honored his wishes, and in 1956 he donated an additional sixty- one acres south of his initial donation.
ASWP has continued to add to the nature reserve and as of 2009 it stood at.
Todd Nature Reserve, located off Route 28 and Highway 356 in Butler County, is named for W.E. Clyde Todd and is open to the public dawn to dusk throughout the year( with the exception of hunting season in November – December).
The ASWP annually awards the W.E. Clyde Todd Award to recognize" an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to conservation in western Pennsylvania."

Uglješa Vlatković
Uglješa Vlatković( Serbian Cyrillic: Угљеша Влатковић)( c. 1359 – after 1427) was a Serbian nobleman from the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
He had the title of" kesar"( caesar) and ruled over the area of Inogošt( today Surdulica), Preševo and Vranje.
His grandfather Knez Paskač and his father Sevastokrator Vlatko Paskačić( House of Paskačić), were both nobles of Emperor Dušan the Mighty and ruled over the border areas between Republic of Serbia and North Macedonia, including Slavište župa.
His family built Psača monastery with the church of Saint Nicholas, around 1354.
His biography was written at the end of the 1360s, and one of the boys portrayed on the fresco could be Uglješa.
Uglješa received the title of caesar when he was a boy from the Emperor Uroš the Weak, and after his father's death most of his lands were usurped by the Dejanović brothers.
After the Battle of Rovine in 1395, he probably managed to retake his father's land and became a vassal of the Ottoman Sultan.
It is mentioned that at the beginning of the 15th century he gave one church to the Hilandar monastery.
It is n't known if he participated in the Battle of Ankara, but he joined Ottoman forces sent by Süleyman Çelebi.
Their goal was to merge with forces of Branković and prevent the return of Stefan Lazarević in Serbia.
On 21 November 1402, the Battle of Gračanica happened.
Caesar Uglješa, who was the vassal of Ottomans, knew about their battle plans and informed Stefan Lazarević.
At the very beginning of the battle, he defected to the Lazarević's side and considerably contributed to his victory.
As a reward for his conduct, Despot Stefan confirmed his authority over his father's lands and became Stefan's vassal.
Over the years, Uglješa was a faithful vassal of Stefan Lazarević and with his forces participated in the Battle of Kosmidion on 15 June 1410.
Byzantine sources mentioned him as part of Stefan Lazarević's delegation, who went to Constantinople on the Emperor Manuel II's invitation.
In the 1412, his lands were attacked by the forces of Musa Çelebi.
Çelebi's forces marched across the Čemernik, sacked Vranje and attacked Novo Brdo, and Uglješa itself barely managed to retreat alive.
After Stefan's death, Constantine of Kostenets moved to the court of Uglješa Vlatković and lived there for some time.
He had son Stefan, who died c. 1400 and was buried in Ljubostinja monastery.
