King (kralj) Milutin and the Paleologan tradition

Summary/Abstract: During the period of kralj Milutin´s reign in Serbia the relations with Byzantium were very vivid. He married the infant Simonis of five years and was favoured by emperor Andronikos II Paleologos and especially by his wife, the mother of Simonis.
