| | Serbian Rulers - Stefan Dragutin, King (1276-1282) |
 | | However, Dragutin did not disappear from the political scene, having retained appanages from both Hungarian and Serbian lands in the northwestern part of the state, which included Macva, Srem and the strategic city of Belgrade, parts of eastern Bosnia and Sumadija, and other areas further south. |
 | | Also notable are the ties Dragutin forged with his Bosnian neighbors, as his son-in-law, Stjepan Kotroman, became the founder of a more stable dynasty of Bosnian bans; this relationship eventually was to justify a certian continuity of Serbian royal institutions in Bosnia, starting with Tvrtko I. |
 | | Soon after his mother's death in 1314, Dragutin retired to a monastery as brother Teoktist, engaged in a very ascetic lifestyle, we are told, and died shortly thereafter. |
