Vlado (kaznac)

Life 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. In the document, Vlado appears with the title of ''miles'' (''Blado Bletista miles'') indicating his position and history as a knight, formerly serving under the Byzantines.
