(Čihorić [Drugović]) Dabiživь Person He was a member of the noble family of Čihorić in Trebinje. He had three brothers (župan Vratko, župan Nenac and tepčija Stepko). He served as a sluga for the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan 1334–1345. He was the Cupbearer (enohijarь) of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš V in 1362. Dabiseus Drugouich bought in 1334 at Brskovo a horse from the inhabitant of Ragusa Miloš Hlapović for 30 perper. He came in 1343 to the župa Žrnovnica with Marcus Maurocenus in order to see the property of Sorento from Ragusa, which was near the boundary between the realm of the Serbian Kingdom and the Republic of Ragusa (ad uidendum confines Rusci de Sorento cum Dabiseo sluga). His name appears from 1343 to 1345 in the Liber omnium reformationum. According to it did the people of him cause frequently harm to the Ragusians in the župa Žrnovnica. The emissaries of the Republic of Ragusa complained before the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in October 1345 that Dabiživь established a fair in Trebinje and imposed a tax for the goods exported and imported by the Ragusans. The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan accepted the complaints of the Ragusans and forbade Dabiživь to collect any taxes from the Ragusans (Piše kraljevstvo mi da jestь bědomo vsakomu, kako pridōše poklisarie, vlasteli dubrovьčьci, kraljevstvu mi pod Serь – Piro Grubešikь Marьtolь Črěvikь i Paske Gučetikь – i govoriše kraljevstvu mi na slugu Dabiživa, kako e učinilь trьgь na Trěbini i uzima ōd tovara dinarь kto grede i u Dubrovьnikь izь Dubrovnika, i ōd dobitka koi grede u Dubrov’nikь. i govorěe Dabiživь prědь kraljevstvomь mi: „uzimano e i prěžde, ōnazi carina ōnьdězii.“ A govorěke poklisarie dubrovьč’ci: „Tazi carina ne uzimana ōd veka, ōdkole světь stalь.“ I kraljevstvo mi iz’nage erě ne uzimana tazi carina i u moihь dědь i pradědь i u rodietelja kraljevstva mi i u kraljevstva mi. I sьtvori milostь kraljevstvo mi vsemь vlastelomь dubrovьč’cimь, vělimь i malimь, da ne ōnogazi trьga na Trěbini, kagō ga i prěžde ne bilo. I po sema sega da ne uzima Dabiživь Dubrovьčanomь ni carine da ni koega dohodьka, ni trьgov’cu dubrovьč’komu, ni vlahu, ni srьbinu, da nikōmu i k’to grede Dubrovьnikь, izь Dubrovьnika. I vsaci vlasteli koi te stagati po Dabiživě da ne uzima carine tezi do veka věk, ni u syna kraljevstva mi da ni u koga nastoeštago kralja u Srьblihь). In October 1349 he received together 10 perper from the Ragusans (In minori consilio, sono campane solito congregatio, captum fuit et firmatum de donando de havere communis Dabisco yppos X). He was probably buried in the Monastery Church of the Holy Mother of God at Treskavec near Prilep. His tombstone with an inscription has been preserved on the northern wall of the monastery church (měseca genara: uspe rabь božiei dabiživь: enohijarь: cara uroša: vьse srьbьskyi zemьle: grьčьskje: i pomorьskje vь leto: ѕ: ō: o: enьdikta).
Braktos Person It is not clear, if he is the same person as Vratko, a nobleman of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, who held the position of župan in 1333 (župan Vratkō/çuppanus Vratcho). Vratko is mentioned in the archives of the city Dubrovnik under the date 7.1. 1333 (Et Vratico, qui fuit et est nobis favorabilispenes dominum regem, D. ducatos de auro; Et Vratico qui fuit et est nobis favorabilis penes dominum regem VIC ducatos de auro), 19. 3. 1336 (fuit sibi ablata una salma per Vraticum nomine domini regiss apud S. Sergium) and 11. 7. 1336 (conqueritur supra Vraticum baronem domini regis Raxie...valoris yp. 190 grossorum de cruçe). He is attested as knez also in two Ragusan charters concerning his belt, which was pawned in Dubrovnik and which he demanded back (pojasь kneza vratka; ōtь kneza Vratka). According to the later sources was knez Vratko the father of Princess Milica of Serbia and the father-in-law of her husband Serbian Despot Lazar Hrebeljanović. Konstantin Kostenečki and then several of the Serbian genealogies (rodoslov) reconstructed his ancestry back to Vukan Nemanjić. Mentioned for the year 1342 by the Byzantine historian Ioannes Kantakuzenos. He was a military commander of the Serbian auxiliary troops, 1342. He was one of the Serbian commanders, who were supporting the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes VI Kantakuzenos during the siege of Serres at the end of the summer 1342. He fell temporarily ill and the army had to remain in the military encampment for eleven days (ἐν ᾧ δὲ ταῦτα ἐτελεῖτο, Βράκτος τῶν ἡγεμόνων τῆς στρατιᾶς ὁ διαφορώτατος ἐνόσησε καὶ διεκαρτέρησεν ἐκεῖ ἡ στρατιὰ ἐστρατοπεδευμένη μίαν ἡμέραν ἐπὶ δέκα).
Kobatzes Person It is not clear, if he is the same person as Covac(er), a nobleman of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, who received two pieces of blankets in the value of 60 perpers as a gift from the Ragusans on 5th July 1336 (donentur Covacero barono domini regis due petie valoris ypp. LX). Mentioned for the year 1342 by the Byzantine historian Ioannes Kantakuzenos. He was one of the dignitaries (οἱ ἐν τέλει πάντες τῶν Τριβαλῶν), who served the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. He was against the handing over of Ioannes VI Kantakuzenos to the Byzantine Empress Anna Palaiologina. He threatened Georgios Lukas and Makarios, the Metropolitan of Thessalonike, who were sent as emissaries by Anna to the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, with death (τις ἐξ αὐτῶν Κοβάτζης ὠνομασμένος φανερῶς ἀντεῖπε καὶ ἠπείλησε θάνατον τοῖς πρέσβεσιν, εἰ μὴ τάχιον ἀπαλλάττοιντο).
