The Branivojević family (Serbian: Бранивојевићи) was most powerful Serbian noble family of their time, that held possessions in Zahumlje, Travunija, and Primorije, later known as Hum.
[1] In 1326, while serving Serbian King Stefan Dečanski (ruled 1321–31), Branoje Branivojević, as the lord of Ston and Pelješac at the time, was given a great two-handed sword.
[2] Probably at their highest point they ruled from Cetina river to the town of Kotor.
[1] Internal fights provided opportunity for the peripheral nobility, which would have bad consequences in the west, Hum; the Branivojević brothers entered politics in the relations with Venice, Croatian magnates and Bosnian ban.
[1] The Draživojević of Nevesinje, as vassals of the Bosnian Ban, became the leading family of Hum in 1330s.
