Goliqueline Place The Byzantinо-Serbian border in Macedonia became the central subject of negotiation between the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321) and Charles de Valois (1270-1325) in 1308, when the latter was aiming to conquer the Byzantine Empire. The French ambassadors met the Serbian King in his tents at Goliqueline (date et actum in tentoriis nostris apud Goliqueline). Since the Serbian King was staying in tents at this time (in tentoriis nostris), Goliqueline was certainly not a residence or a settlement, but a plot of land (perhaps a summer pasture) that was in the mountains. If Kotraža (2) is to be located in the same area, then it could well be that both King Stefan Milutin and his mother, the Serbian Queen Jelena Anžujska (ca. 1230-1314), stayed in the region during the Serbian campaigns against the Byzantine Empire.

Sinadin Kalojan Person Perhaps identical with Ioannes Synadenos? Mentioned in the chrysobull charter from 1300 issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje. He was a sevastokrator. He received the traitor Veriha, who fled from the region of Skopje. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin punished Veriha by forfeiture of property (I ešte prida kraljevstvo mi Verihino město i Dragijevь lugь. Iznevěri bo se Veriha kraljevstvu mi i poběže k sevastokratoru Kalojanu Sinadinu. Da što se ōbrěta Verihevo gde ljubo, dahь je crьkvi Svetago Geōrgija).
Synadenos, Ioannes Komnenos Dukas Angelos Person Perhaps identical with Sinadin Kalojan? Died with all probability before 1290. His sons were at that time infants. He died as monk Ioakeim on 6 February (Ὡσαύτως ποιήσετε μνημόσυνα καθ’ ἑκάστην τοῦ χρόνου περίοδον τὴν ἕκτην τοῦ φευρουαρίου μηνὸς καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ μακαρίου κτήτορος ὑμῶν τοῦ μεγάλου στρατοπεδάρχου Ἀγγέλου Δούκα τοῦ Συναδηνοῦ κυροῦ Ἰωάννου, τοῦ διὰ τοῦ θείου καὶ ἀγγελικοῦ σχήματος μετονομασθέντος Ἰωακεὶμ μοναχοῦ). He was a κῦρ. He was toparch of Polog before 1275/1276 (ὁ δέ γε πατὴρ τοῦ πρὸς ἑσπέραν κατὰ τὴν Δαλματίαν λεγομένου Πολόγου τοπάρχης ἦν) and Megas stratopedarches from 1275/1276 to 1283/1284. He married his wife Theodora Komnene Palaiologina approximately in 1280 or 1281. He was the father of Ioannes Komnenos Dukas Palaiologos Synadenos, Theodoros Dukas Palaiologos Komnenos Synadenos, Euphrosyne Komnene Dukaina Palaiologina and a daugher not known by name, who was a candidate bride for the Bulgarian King Teodor Svetoslav Terter. He defected to Michael VIII Palaiologos probably after the battle at Pelagonia in 1259. The Byzantine emperor rewarded him with the title of megas stratopedarches. In 1275/1276 he fought together with Michael Kaballarios against the army of Ioannes Dukas, the ruler of Thessaly. He was defeated and captured at Pharsalos. He was one of the generals, who beat the army of Charles I of Anjou at Berat in April 1281. He joined an unsuccessful naval expedition to Thessaly in 1283/1284. He is honoured as a ktetor of the convent of the Holy Mother of God Bebaia Elpis in Constantinople according to the Typikon of his wife Theodora for the convent of the Holy Mother of God Bebaia Elpis in Constantinople. He possessed a small private library with several manuscripts.
Veriha Person Mentioned several times in the chrysobull charter from 1300 issued by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of Saint George-Gorg near Skopje. He betrayed the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin by fleeing to the sevastokrator Kalojan Sinadin (I ešte prida kraljevstvo mi Verihino město i Dragijevь lugь. Iznevěri bo se Veriha kraljevstvu mi i poběže k sevastokratoru Kalojanu Sinadinu). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin confiscated the land of Veriha (do Verišina městě, Verihino město, na Verišino selište, niva u Verišině poli) after his treason and gave it to the Monastery of Saint Georg-Gorg near Skopje (Da što se ōbrěta Verihevo gde ljubo, dahь je crьkvi Svetago Geōrgija).
