Zavida


Zavida or Beli Uroš was a 12th-century Serbian royal who briefly ruled as Župan of Zachumlia and later held the title Lord of Ribnica.
He was a close kinsman, or even a son, of Uroš I of Rascia, although this has not been clarified.
He ruled the province of Zachumlia before getting into conflict with his brothers, resulting in him being "exiled", to the Duklja region where he would hold the title of Lord of Ribnica. After the death of George I of Duklja in the 1130s, the family of Zavida regained some of its power in Serbia.
