Vlado is recorded for the first time in an Angevin document of 1274 outlining an agreement made between Charles I of Anjou and members of the Albanian nobility.
[1][2][3] Following his alignment with the Angevins, Vlado began establishing political ties with the Kingdom of Serbia and earned the title of kaznac which he held from 1274 to 1304.
[4] In the same year, his son, Gulielm, was elevated to the position of Albania's marshall (marascallum regni albanie).
[4][6] The Blinishti would disappear from the historical record following their participation in the uprising against the Serbian throne instigated by Pope John XXII between 1319-36.
