| Serbian Rulers - Caslav (927 - ca. 960) (516 words) |
 | A great-grandson of prince Vlastimir, Caslav was born and raised in the Bulgarian capital Preslav, at the court of tsar Symeon. |
| Caslav's state, the main Serbian principality of its day, was larger than that of Vlastimir, and encompassed areas of present-day western Serbia, eastern Bosnia and eastern Hercegovina. |
| And while the Church schism was formally another hundred years in the future, Caslav's leaning towards Constantinople for spiritual apart from political support - with its orthodoxy and right to a comprehensible Slavonic liturgy, as opposed to the rival Roman option - were to have important consequences in the centuries hence. |
