| − | The '''House of Vlastimirović''' (Властимировићи, ''Vlastimirovići'') was named after ''knez'' (duke) [[Vlastimir of Serbia|Vlastimir]] who was the great-great-grandson of the [[Unknown Archont]] who led the Serbs to the Balkans from White Serbia (modern day [[Poland]], [[Slovakia]] and [[Ukraine]]) during the reign of [[Byzantine emperor]] [[Heraclius]] somewhere between [[610]] - [[641]]. This establishes the Serbs in the Balkans in the early [[600s]].

| − | The house of Vlastimirović became Serbia's first dynasty after the settlement of the Serbs. Their reigned from ca. 640- ca. 950, of which apr. 100 year under a different dynasty and later in the 9th century a short period under Bulgarian direction.

| |
| − | Svevlad ruled up to 660. [[Selimir]] ruled 679-680. [[Vladin]], ruled up to 700 and [[Ratimir]], ruled until 730. It is not known how the different rulers came to succeed one another as there is little evidence from this time. After Svevlad another 50 years of infighting during which time there was no clear ruler in [[Rascia]], [[Pagania]], [[Travunia]], [[Neretva]] and Bosna. This period of discord lasted for almost 150 years.

| |
| − | Around 780, knez [[Višeslav of Serbia|Višeslav]], the great grandson of the Unknown Archont came to power over [[Rascia]], [[Pagania]], [[Travunia]], [[Neretva]] and [[Bosnia (region)|Bosnia]]. He ruled through knez [[Radoslav]] (son of Višeslav), Knez [[Prosigoj]] (son of Radoslav) until [[850]] bringing an era of stability to his domain. He included many family members who were not his sons, something other Serbian rulers had not done before him. He likely saw this as a good way of preventing the discord that followed immediately after the [[History of Serbs|Serbs]] settled the area by avoiding jelaousy and fighting between family members.

| |
| − | Around [[850]] or only up to [[825]], [[Knez Vlastimir]], a son of Prosigoj and nephew of Viseslav, was ruler. He was according to some the founder of Vlastimirović [[dynasty]]. Knez Vlastimir continued the power sharing started by his uncle. Vlastimir had three sons and one daughter. His daughter married knez Krajina, son of Beloje, župan of [[Travunia]] (Trabounia). Each son had his own domain, but Mutimir the eldest was the supreme ruler, his two brothers being subjugated ([[vassals]]) to him. The brothers successfully fought off a Bulgar onslaught by khan Boris in 852. Later, the two youngest brother rebelled against Mutimir who as a punishment let Bulgar khan Boris subjugate them.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | From the year [[900]] to [[940]], there is extensive Bulgar and Byzantine interference in the Serb state. Its continued suzerainity to [[Byzantium]] put the Serb state under its protection.

He liberated the central Serbian tribes from Bulgarian empire, concluded a voluntary confederation with the chiefs of Bosnia that brought them out of Croatia's control and together with [[Zahumlje]], [[Pagania]], [[Neretva]], [[Travunia]], [[Zeta (state)|Zeta]] and [[Raska]] established a Serb state that encompassed the shores of the Adriatic sea, the Sava river and the Morava river valley as well as Northern Albania.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After Caslav's death, in [[960]], the Bulgars and Byzantines took advantage of the discord caused by the power vacuum. Bosnia's chiefs declared independence and dissolved into independent statelets because the rest of Caslav's domain was swallowed up by [[Byzantium]] and Bulgaria. In [[968]] however, Bosnia was violently conquered by the Croatian king Kresimir and after the Bosnian chiefs were put down, it was incorporated into the Croatian state.
