Identical with Radoslav’ (Povikь?)? It is doubtful, that he is the same person as the župan Hlapen, who governed Konavle and the region of Trebinje. He died before 1385. He was a commandant of the Serbian military troops in Macedonia, 1350. He controlled a large area in Macedonia in the border region, 1357–1362. He was a relative of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. He married Eirene Prelumpissa in 1358 (ὅθεν καὶ γυναῖκα λαμβάνει τὴν τοῦ Πρελούμπου ἐκείνου γαμετήν). He was the father of Helena. According to a manuscript note she was married to Marko Mrnjavčević (vь dьni blagověrnago kralja Mar’ka, jegda ōdade Thodoru Grьgurovu ženu Hlapenu, a uze ženu svoju prьvověn’čan’nu Jelenu, Hlapenovu dьštere). His second daughter was the wife of Nikolaos Baldubinos Pagases [Νικόλαος Βαλδουβῖνος Παγάσης/Nikola Bagaš] (ἀπὸ τοῦ πενθεροῦ μου Ῥαδοσλάβου τοῦ Χλαπένου). The third daughter called Maria Angelina Radosthlaba married Alexios Angelos Philantropenos. Mauro Orbini, a Ragusan chronicler from 16th century, who used older sources, mentions also a son of him called Stefan-Dukas (I maschi si chiamauno Duca & Stefano). He defected in 1350 along with Tolisthlabos from the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan to the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes VI Kantakuzenos (ἧκον δὲ καὶ αὐτόμολοι δύο ἐξ αὐτῶν· ὧν ἅτερος τῶν μάλιστα ἦν ἐπιφανῶν, κατὰ γένος προσήκων Κράλῃ, Χλάπαινος ὠνομασμένος, στρατιάν τε ἔχων ὑφ’ ἑαυτὸν οὐκ εὐκαταφρόνητον καὶ πολλὴν περιουσίαν· ὁ λοιπὸς δὲ οὐ τῶν πάνυ περιδόξων ἦν, πλὴν κἀκεῖνος ἀρχάς τε πόλεων ἐγκεχειρισμένος καὶ στρατοπέδων ἡγεμονίας, ὄνομα Τολίσθλαβος). After a while he switched sides again and joined most likely the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. He captured Beroia before 1359, probably in 1351 (Οὗτος τοίνυν ὁ Χλάπενος, εἷς ὢν τῶν Σερβικῶν σατραπῶν καὶ τινα φρούρια ἐκ τῶν Ῥωμαï κῶν ὁρίων εἰληφώς, ἀλλὰ δὴ καὶ τὴν μεγαλόδοξον πόλιν Βέῤῥοιαν, μεγάλως ἐπὶ τοὶς κατορθώμασιν ἐσέμνυνεν). He witnessed the apparently falsified charter issued by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš V in 1355 for the inhabitants of the town of Kotor (Radosav Chlapene). He acted as a protector of the inheritance right of his wife and his stepson Toma Preljubović (Θωμᾶς Πρέλουμπος). Therefore he seized the Thessalian town Damasis in 1359/1360 (Τῇ Βλαχίᾳ δὲ φθάσας μετὰ τῶν στρατευμάτων καὶ φρούριον ἓν πολιορκία εἰληφώς, Δάμασιν καλούμενον, εἰς συμβάσεις μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως Συμεὼν χωροῦσι, καὶ τὸ φρούριον τούτῳ παραχωρεῖ). He gave up the town of Damasis to Simeon Uroš (Συμεὼν Παλαιολόγος) on condition of arranging the marriage between Maria Angelina Komnene Palaiologina, the daughter of Simeon, and Toma Preljubović (Θωμᾶς Πρέλουμπος). He founded the Mesonesiotissa Monastery near Kastoria (καὶ ἂν κατὰ διαδοχὴν καὶ κληρονομίαν ἔλαβον ἀπὸ τοῦ πενθεροῦ μου Ῥαδοσλάβου τοῦ Χλαπένου σεβασμίαν καὶ ἱερὰν μονὴν, τὴν παρ’ ἐκείνου ἀνεγερθεῖσαν ἐκ βάθρων αὐτῶν τῇ ὑπερευλογημένῃ ἡμῶν δεσποίνῃ καὶ θεομήτορι, τὴν οὕτω πως καλουμένην Μεσονησιώτισσαν). Apparently his ring was found on a medieval necropolis of the Vodoča Monastery near Strumica. It bears an invocation (Izvolite raba Božija Hlapena).

He came along with Ioannes Theophylaktos in 1379 to request Toma Preljubović (Θωμᾶς Πρέλουμπος) to take in possession the town of Serbia. Toma Preljubović imprisoned him in order to demand ransom for him (Τὸν αὐτὸν ἤδη χρόνον, Κυριακῇ πρὸ τῆς Χριστοῦ γεννήσεως, προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τὰ μέρη τῆς Καστορίας τῶν ἐντίμων ἀρχόντων ὁ θεωρίᾳ καὶ πράξει χαριτώνυμος Θεοφύλακτος, καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ Χοντέτζης λεγόμενος· έζήτουν δὲ αὐτὸν αὐθέντην καὶ ἡγεμόνα τοῦ κάστρου Σερβίων. Αὐτὸς δέ, κυριευόμενος ὑπὸ τῆς φιλαργυρίας, ἐν τῇ φρουρᾷ αὐτοὺς).

He died before 1373, probably in 1372. The title Despotus regni Albania was bestowed upon him by Louis, the brother of Charles, the Duke of Durazzo (Durrës) on 30th December 1336. His title was confirmed by the Sicilian King Robert of Anjou on 18th July 1337. Sevastocrator. He appears as marescallus (marshal) in the Papal letter from June 1317. His father was Theodor I Musachi. He was married to Etinia, the daughter of Paolo Matarango. Andrea II Musachi was the father of Theodor II Musachi (Theodoros Muzakes), Ghin I Musachi (Amirales Myrsioannes), Stoja Musachi (Stoias), Anna (Kiranna) and Comita. He was an offspring of the noble family Musachi. He controlled the plain in the western Lowlands of Albania called Myseqe. The Historia della casa Musachia records, that he defeated the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan or Blukasinos (Vukašin) at the Pelister Mountain. The Byzantine Emperor gave him the title Despot of Epirus with a golden seal as a reward for his victory over the Serbian king (il titolo de Despoto d’Epiro con privilegio con lo sigillo d’oro, et anco l’invio una sedia despotale, nella quale era de perle racamata detta insegna dell’aquila). He captured the town Kastoria from the Serbian King Marko (Markos). He was buried in the Church of Saint Anthony located at Rodon Cape near Durrës.

His son, whose name is unknown, held the rank of protosebastos and fell in the battle against the Bulgars near Rhosokastron in 1332. Mentioned in horismos of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III. from august 1321. Andronikos III. confirmed, that he is not the owner of the abandoned village Pungion. He rebelled against the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II before 1326. His aim was to govern the western parts of the empire and Macedonia independently. He plotted with his brothers-in-law, the governors of Melnik and Strumica and asked also his son-in-law Stefan Uroš III. Dečanski for help. They plundered together Macedonia and reached the river Strymon and the town Serres. Andronikos II. offered him the insignia of a καῖσαρ, in order to end the revolt. He received the embassy of Andronikos II. in Skopje. He accepted the offer and promised to keep the peace. He also wanted to go back to Thessalonike, but died soon after an illness in Skopje. Both Manuel Philes and Theodoros Metochites composed an epitaph for him.

He came along with Chontetzes in 1379 to request Toma Preljubović (Θωμᾶς Πρέλουμπος) to take in possession the town of Serbia. Toma Preljubović imprisoned him in order to demand ransom for him (Τὸν αὐτὸν ἤδη χρόνον, Κυριακῇ πρὸ τῆς Χριστοῦ γεννήσεως, προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τὰ μέρη τῆς Καστορίας τῶν ἐντίμων ἀρχόντων ὁ θεωρίᾳ καὶ πράξει χαριτώνυμος Θεοφύλακτος, καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὁ Χοντέτζης λεγόμενος· έζήτουν δὲ αὐτὸν αὐθέντην καὶ ἡγεμόνα τοῦ κάστρου Σερβίων.
