Ivaniš Berislavić (Serbian Cyrillic: Иваниш Бериславић; Latin: Joannes Berizlo) was the Despot of the Kingdom of Serbia (regni Rascie despotus[1]) from 1504 to 1514.
[2] In addition, their estates shared borders,[3] and despot Đorđe Branković, as well as Jovan, had been supporters of Mathias Corvinus like the Berislavićs.
[2] Nevertheless, the decision was apparently not welcomed in Serbia, where the local chroniclers would not mention Ivaniš Berislavić by name, likely because they had expected the privilege to pass to the Serbian House of Jakšić, who were also in the service of the Hungarian king.
[2] Ivaniš was made protector of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Hungary, and in charters he signed as "In God's Grace, the Despot of Serbia".
The defence of the southern border of the Kingdom of Hungary was handled by Berislavić as despot, with the support of Stevan, Marko and Petar Jakšić, Stjepan Bradač, and the armed forces of Belgrade and Šabac.
