radoslav , the eldest son of stefan the first-crowned , was ousted by the serbian nobility due to increasing epirote influence through his marriage alliance to theodore komnenos doukas ; vladislav was appointed as his successor .
during vladislav 's reign , his uncle archbishop sava went on a pilgrimage and died in bulgaria while on his way home .
vladislav obtained the remains and buried them in the mileševa monastery , which he had built intended to be his burial place .

vladislav secured hum , a maritime province under attack by hungarian crusaders .

in 1243 , he abdicated in favour of his younger brother , but remained the ruler of zeta .
he was described as very energetic , reliable , and hot-tempered .
the serbian orthodox church venerates him as a saint on .
