[1] During the rule of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan 'the Mighty' (r. 1331-1355), Branko (d. 1352) gained control of the Braničevo region, he was accidentally killed during a hunt by voivode Vuk Kosača, his relatives later avenged his death in 1359, when they murdered Vuk.

[2] The feud continued between the two families, Stefan Uroš V 'the Weak' was at war with Tsar Symeon, the Rastislalići turned to the other side of the Danube, where Hungarian-ruled territory in Mačva was held by Ban Nicholas I Garay.

A Hungarian band was sent to take care of the enemies in Braničevo, and they became vassals of the Kingdom of Hungary.

[3] In 1359, perhaps at their invitation, Louis I of Hungary marched into Serbia and defeated Uroš V.[4] Radič Branković was the last feudal lord; he was evicted in 1379 by Knez Lazar who issued a military action against him.

[5] The family also issued a regional currency, the "Helmet dinars"[6] one of only three to be created prior to the end of the Serbian Empire in 1371.
