It was most commonly attested among the Serbs. Bulgaria A decorated silver cup with a Medieval Greek inscription attests to the use of the title ''zoupanos megas'' in 9th-century Bulgaria. The inscription refers to a certain Sivin (Bulgar name), who appears to have held that position at the time of Kniaz Boris I (852–889).

He had two brothers Desa and Beloš, and a sister Helena of Serbia, Queen of Hungary. Furthermore, Uroš II also had to contend with the Second Norman invasion of the Balkans (1147-1149).
