  Stefan Uroš II Milutin of Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stefan Uroš II Milutin (Serbian: Стефан Урош II Милутин), (born around 1253-died on October 29, 1321), was a king of Serbia (reigned 1282–1321), and member of Nemanjić dynasty.
The peace was concluded in 1299 when Milutin kept conquered lands as dowry of Simonis, daughter of emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos.
This meant that Stefan Dečanski was to be heir to the throne in Serbia and not Dragutin's son Stefan Vladislav II.

A portrait of King Milutin, the endower, exceeding life-size, is painted opposite the composition on a red background with a long, glorying inscription.
Most certainly King Milutin was well-informed of the excellence of the artists to whom he entrusted the decoration of his endowments through his royal court in Thessalonica where he occasionally stayed.
In this sense, it is sufficient to see the portraits of Kings Dragutin (1276-1282) and Milutin (1282-1321) in a slightly earlier founders' composition in the cathedral of St. Achilleios in the town of Arilje (1296) to confirm the impression of a consistent emulation of the clothing worn by Byzantine emperors.

 Serbian Rulers - Stefann Uros II Milutin, King (1282-1321)
The agreement was sealed by a high-level royal marriage between the king and emperor Andronikos' minor daughter Simonida (Simonis), and assured a generally cordial relationship between the two courts for the rest of Milutin's reign.
In many ways Milutin's policies show him as a self-styled revivalist and heir to Byzantine traditions and legacy, assuming that the classical establishment on the Bosporus no longer had the moral fortitude and life-bearing energy to carry out its sacred duties.
Milutin's generosity was legendary, as he erected several dozen monasteries, churches and hospitals and endowed many more; much of this legacy is still visible today.
