Vladimir II of Duklja


Vladimir II was King of Duklja from 1103 to 1113. He was a son of prince Vladimir, the oldest son of King Mihailo I of Duklja, and thus a nephew of King Constantine Bodin. He married a daughter of Vukan, the Grand Prince of Serbia, thereby ending rivalries between the two polities. Vladimir had been appointed the rule of Duklja by his father-in-law Vukan, after the death of his uncle, former King Kočopar, in Zahumlje. He was poisoned in 1118 on the orders of Queen-Dowager Jaquinta, the widow of his uncle, Constantine Bodin. Jaquinta soon appointed her son, George, to the throne.
