Beloš

1141–1163), was a Serbian prince and Hungarian palatine who served as the regent of Hungary from 1141 until 1146, alongside his sister Helena, mother of the infant King Géza II.Beloš was the third son of Uroš I, the Grand Prince of Serbia (r. ca 1112–1145), and Anna Diogenissa, the granddaughter of Romanos IV Diogenes, the Byzantine Emperor (r. 1068–1071).Owing favors for this, he undertook to make Serbia a subject-ally to Géza; having discussed this on every possible occasion, he was able to persuade the man by persistent requests.His sister Helen, married the Hungarian heir apparent, Béla in 1129.There is no record of Beloš's activity in the subsequent decade, the Hungarian chronicles emphasize Helen's influence and role in the government during the reign of her husband.[2][5] It is possible that Beloš interceded Béla II in 1136 to recapture some of the Dalmatian coast the Hungarians had lost to the Republic of Venice, in addition to the submission of Bosnia.[8] As the king [Géza], however, was not at hand, but Beluš who bore the highest rank among them (the Hungarians call this office "Ban") was reported to be not far off, he [Manuel] quickly hastened toward him.[11] Despite the position of palatine was considered the most powerful dignity in the kingdom, Beloš was more frequently styled as ban in contemporary – including the last testament of priest Crnota – and later documents.The Byzantine army routed the united troops of Hungarians and Serbs on the river Tara in September 1150, which resulted that Uroš II of Serbia – the brother of Beloš – acknowledged the emperor's suzerainty.Manuel launched a retaliatory campaign against Hungary and ravaged the lands between the rivers Sava and Danube, and also laid siege to Zimony (present-day Zemun, Serbia) in late 1150.Since Géza II fought in Halych, only Beloš arrived with the Hungarian army, but he refrained from engaging Manuel, whose troops subsequently retreated to Braničevo.The economic difficulties which arose due to Galician and Byzantine military actions, prompted Géza II to abandon active foreign policy, including the support of Serbs.The Byzantine historian John Kinnamos mentions that Emperor Manuel ousted Uroš II (or Primislav) from his position around 1161 or 1162, replacing him with Beloš, who was installed as Grand Prince of Serbia in 1162.Shortly after his resignation from the principality, Beloš returned to Hungary as a confidant of Stephen IV, who, as anti-king, ascended the Hungarian throne after Ladislaus' death in January 1163.When Ugrin Csák, Archbishop of Kalocsa initiated the establishment of the Diocese of Syrmia in 1229, he selected the abandoned monastery as the episcopal seat of the newly founded bishopric.
