Dejanь Person The identification with the duke (vojvoda) Dejanь Manijaakь (Deianus Maniiachus), known from the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan concerning the town Ston, which was issued on the 22th January 1333, is doubtful. It was also suggested that he is the same person as Dejanь Dragaš. He is mentioned in the fragmentary inscription from the Church of Saint Nicholas in the village Kalotina, which was made during the reign of the Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Alexander. He is also attested in the ktitorial composition from the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin in Kučevište, which bears an identifying inscription. The wall paintings in Kučevište can be dated between 1331 and 1334. He appears as sevastь in the dedicatory inscription from Kalotina. He held the position of voivoda (duke). His wife was Vladislava. The names of their sons were Iōanь and Dmitarь?. He together with his wife Vladislava erected the Church of Saint Nicholas in the village Kalotina. His effort is praised in the dedicatory inscription in the naos of the church. He and his wife are portrayed on the southern wall of the narthex in the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin in the village Kučevište. On the right side of his painting an inscription is bearing his name and his function (voivoda Deanь). He and his noble family apparently changed sides and supported the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV.
