Sratsimir
Bulgarian magnate and despot of Kran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sratsimir (Bulgarian: Срацимир; fl. 1324–31[citation needed]) was a Bulgarian magnate with the title of Despot, holding the territory of Kran. It is unclear when he received the governorship of Kran; he held it before and during the reign of his son, Ivan Alexander (r. 1331–71).[1][need quotation to verify] He married Keratsa Petritsa, a member of the Shishman dynasty, with whom he had five children. He was the eponymous founder of the Sratsimir dynasty.
