Đorđe Nemanjić

Đorđe Nemanjić or George of Zeta (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Немањић; fl. 1208–1243) was the Grand Prince of Zeta, from at least 1208 until at least 1242. For some time, around 1208, he also was a self-styled King of Duklja. He was the oldest son of Vukan Nemanjić (d. before 1208), the Grand Prince of Serbia (1202–1204) and titular King of Duklja (1190–1208), hence George too was a titular King, for a few years after his father's death. In 1208, he accepted the suzerainty of the Republic of Venice. By 1214-1216, his paternal uncle Stefan Nemanjić, the Grand Prince of Serbia (1196-1202, 1204-1217) imposed his rule on Zeta, but within the newly proclaimed Kingdom of Serbia (1217), Đorđe was left to administer some part of the region, as prince of Duklja (lat. princeps Dioclie), being mentioned as such for the last time in 1242.
