Five decades later, Jovan Vladimir emerged as the Prince of Serbs, ruling as a Bulgarian vassal from his seat at Bar. A possible descendant, Stefan Vojislav, led numerous revolts in the 1030s against the Byzantine Emperor (the overlord of the Serbian lands), successfully becoming independent by 1042. His realm included all lands earlier held by Časlav Klonimirović, and he would be eponymous with the second Serbian dynasty, the Vojislavljevići, who were based in Duklja. The latter may possibly have been a branch of the Vlastimirović dynasty. A cadet branch of the Vojislavljević dynasty, the Vukanovići, emerged as the third dynasty in the 1090s. It was named after Grand Prince Vukan who held Rascia (the hinterland) under his cousin King of Duklja Constantine Bodin (ca. 1080–1090) in the beginning, but renounced any overlordship in 1091 when he raided many of the Byzantine towns of Kosovo and Macedonia. The Nemanjić dynasty, the most powerful in Serbian history, was founded by Stefan Nemanja, also a descendant of the same line.
