Knez/Zupan Caslav Klonimirovic Vlastimirovic ??? - 960

Ruler of Serbia (son of Klonimir, grandson of Strojimir). The last and the greatest of the Unknow Archont's descendants. He ruled from 927 - 960. He liberated the central Serbian tribes from Bulgarian empire, concluded a voluntary confederation with the chiefs of Bosna/Bosnia that brought them out of Croatia's control and together with Zahumlje, Pagania/Neretva, Travunia, Zeta/Duklja 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 0960, the Bulgars and Byzantium took advantage of the discord caused by the power vacume. Bosna's chiefs declared independence and disolved 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.
