Morobisdos

Description

A praise poem by the Byzantine poet Manuel Philes (13th/14th century) for the Byzantine general Michael Dukas Glabas Tarchaneiotes relates, among other things, about the conquest of Morobisdos (Εὐτζάπολιν δὲ συλλαβὼν Μοροβίσδου, Σκόπιά τε Σθλάβιτζαν ἐξ εὐανδρίας, Καὶ τὸν Πίαντζον καὶ τὸ περὶ τὸν Στρόμον, Καὶ τὸν περὶ Στρούμμιτζαν ἄφθονον τόπον). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin donated in 1300 the village Avazgovo to the Monastery of Saint George–Gorg near Skopia (Skopje) with all its possessions (especially pastures - summer and winter pastures), which had already been given to the monastery by the Byzantine emperor Manuel I. Komnenos (Avazgovo pod Moroїzvizdomĭ eže prida kÿrь Manoilь carь, s vinogradi, s nivijem, sь sěnokosi, s pašišti, sь letovišti, sь zimovišti, i sь mlini, sь planinomь i sь vsěmi pravinami). The village Morobisdos is mentioned in the charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery Gračanica from year 1315 (or 1321?) (i po Morozvizdu). In the founding charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV. Dušan for the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) from the year 1346/47 it is said that the Eparchy of Morobisdos had fallen in desolation for many years (Poiskavše ōbrětosmo vь ōblasti toi episkopiju Morozviždьsku ōtь mnogyhь lětьь zapustěvšu). For this reason it was subordinated to the new eparchy with the village of Morobisdos and its borders (sь selomь těmь Morozvizdomь i sь ōtьtesomь sela toga). The Serbian local ruler Konstantin Dragaš donated on the 15th August 1381 the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) with all its possessions, including the village Morobisdos and its hamlets Rokjevci and Grьdovci, to the Hilandar Monastery (selo Morōzvizdь i sь zaselci Rōkjevci i Grьdovci i sь vsěmi megjami i pravinami sela togo).
