Radoslav Pavlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Радослав Павловић; died 1441), sometimes spelled Radislav, Radisav or Radosav, was a Bosnian nobleman of the noble family Pavlović-Radinović.
After the murder of his father Pavle Radinović on Parena Poljana, near Sutjeska and Bobovac, in 1415 by the hand of Grand Duke of Bosnia, Sandalj Hranić (1392–1435), Radosav together with his older brother Peter, started a war against Sandalj Hranić and his Kosača clan, as those responsible for the murder.
In 1435, after the death of Duke Sandalj Hranić, he tried to take advantage of the new situation, but in a conflict with his wife's brother Stjepan, he eventually lost the southern parts of his zemlja around Trebinje.
[1] Interestingly, there is no news about the position of Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić at that time; once by far the most powerful Bosnian nobleman, already in decline for couple of years, died in April 1416.
A small part of Hrvoje's territories was inherited by his nephew Đurađ Vojsalić, son of Vojislav Vukčić.
He approached Sandalj, who was fighting against Pavlovićs, who were supported by sultan,[3][1] but was losing the war and almost all his possessions in the Bosansko Primorje, except Dračevica and Novi.
In December 1418, king Stjepan Ostojić issued a charter confirming the Dubrovnik's possession of the entire Konavle, together with the fortress of Soko.
To no avail the Nikolić family tried for generations to gain independence from the Bosnian duke, but even after Sandalj's death they had to remain loyal to his successor, Stjepan Vukčić.
In October 1420, peace was made with Radosav Pavlović, who supported the return of King Tvrtko II to the country.
[1] Peace between Hranić and Pavlović was made in 1423, and Sandalj returned the fortress of Soko in Konavle to the people of Dubrovnik.
[3] The Bosnian king condemned the duke's actions but could not do anything because Radosav enjoyed the full support of the sultan.
The Dubrovnik refused to show up at the Porte on their own, fearing that they would be forced to accept obligation of regular tribute payment.
However, Dubrovnik easily oni su lako opovrgli originalnost ovig dokumenata prove their rights with the original charters.
The Sultan ordered that Konavle return to Dubrovnik, and the Republic also raised the issue of war damage, demanding a sum of 60,000 ducats.
The Serbian despot won the war and occupied Zvornik and Teočak, while the Bosnians defended Srebrenica successfully.
[1] The young king encountered another problem in Bosnia internal political struggle in his first years at the Bosnian throne.
It seems that this is the same person that the Burgundian spy and traveling writer, Bertrandon de la Broquière, met at the Porte and whom he mentions in his travelogue.
On Sigmund's orders, Croatian ban, Matija Matko Talovac, attacked the land of Hum in the area of the Neretva river.
The local nobel families, Vojsalićs and Radivojević also joined him, but they were actually sent there by Bosnian king all the while they had goal of their own, which was to break from new lord of Hum, Sandalj's successor, Grand Duke of Bosnia, Stjepan Vukčić.
With the Ottoman help Stjepan took initiative and expelled Hungarians from Hum, and the territories of Radoslav Pavlović were looted.
Also, Stjepan Vukčić provided support to the successor of Ivaniš Nelipić, his son-in-law Ivan Frankopan.
At the end of 1437, Radosav lost the favor of the sultan, and Stjepan received a blessing from Murat II to capture Trebinje.
In 1439, the Ottomans invaded Bosnia and forced Stjepan to reconcile with Radosav and return Trebinje and all other territories he had taken from him.
[1] Reconciliation between, at the time, two most powerful Bosnian noble families, Pavlović-Radinović and Vukčić-Kosača, was finally sealed by remarriage between Radosav and Stjepan's sister Teodora.
